Editing a slide master template

When you are opening the slide master as a new user and you want to tailor it and add a new slide which show headers and footers how do you get the headers and footers to show?

RE: Editing a slide master template

Hi

First you need to check that your new slide layout in slide master view has the header and footer box checked in Master layout group. The master layout group is only visible in slide master view.

Select the slide or slides that you want to apply the header and footer to then in normal view go to Insert -Header and Footer. (Located in text group on Insert Ribbon).

From Header and footer dialog click to check
date and time
slide number
footer ( You can type a footer here)

MORE IMPORTANTLY click Apply to all to have it in the whole presentation or APPLY to apply to SELECTED SLIDES or the current slide you are on.

Capture Screenshots in Powerpoint 2010

A great new feature to Powerpoint 2010 is the "screen clipping" command. This allows you to capture an image on your screen directly via powerpoint.

Go to your insert tab on the ribbon and in the images box you will see "sreenshot", click on the arrow and select "screen clipping". Powerpoint will minimise and you will be taken to the next open application or your desktop. Wait a few seconds a your screen will grey out a little and your mouse curser will turn into a + sign. Hold your mouse down and select the area you wish to capture. When you let go of your mouse the selected area will be exported into your powerpoint presentation as an image which you can edit.

It really simple and very effective, give it a go!

This feature is also available on Excel and Word.
