Each PowerPoint template comes with a Slide Master. The Slide Master controls the overall
formatting and object placement for the presentation — font type, size, color, background color,
graphics and certain special effects like text shadowing. When we want to make a global change
to the look of slides, we don’t have to change each slide individually; just make the change once
on the Slide Master, and that change is reflected on every slide. For example, if we change the
font in the Slide Master, it automatically changes the font on all of the slides. If you put a logo on
the Slide Master, the logo will appear on every slide.
