Master slides

What are the benefits of using master slides? I feel it is easier to simply use your company template and click new slide, rather than using master and master title slides.

Kind regards
Jasmine

RE: Master slides

Hi Jasmine, thanks for your query. Your company template already has a Slide and Title Master attached to it as standard. It's into these slides you place all repeating elements such as logos, backgrounds and slide numbering and set the font and bullet hierarchy.

If there were no such things as a Slide and Title Master, you would have to insert repeating elements on every slide which, in a 200 slide presentation would be extremely time-consuming! If your company template is set up correctly, you should not need to alter elements such as font or bullet level font sizes, as these are set on the Master slides. Essentially, if the Slide and Title Master are set up correctly, creating a consistent and well-laid out presentation is a lot easier!

Hope this helps,

Anthony
