Topic: Difficulty with Slide Master Posted: 30 May 2011 at 02:08 |
Greetings ! I am new around here and new to PowerPoint 2010. I am attempting to create a Presentation of 4 slides with different layouts and the Title of each having Font size 60, Bold and Red. I set this requirement in Slide Master and when switched to Normal view everything is fine . As I attempt to use different Slide Designs on the slides I lose the Font settings. I was of the feeling that once these settings were preset in Slide Master there will be no Please advise. Thanks |

Hi Joe, welcome to the 123PPT Community and the PowerPoint Forum. Since Microsoft launched PowerPoint 2002 it has been possible to create and work with multiple Slide Masters in PowerPoint. Before establishing a Slide Master or Multiple Slide Masters, you need to understand the relationship between Slide Masters and Title Masters. Every presentation has at least one Slide Master. Each Slide Master in a presentation may have a corresponding Title Master, but doesn't have to. Suppose you create a new presentation that starts out with one Slide Master and one Title Master. Then, as you work with the presentation, you add three additional Slide Masters to create new slide designs. Now, the presentation has four Slide Masters but still only one Title Master. If you want to add an additional Title Master, the new Title Master must be paired with an existing Slide Master that doesn't already have a Title Master. So, you can add a new Title Master to either of the three Slide Masters you created. From your post Joe, I wonder if you have been creating multiple Title Masters rather than Slide Masters? When you switch to the new Slide Master and insert your New Slide, the Slide Masters properties, including Fonts styles would be as you created from the Slide Master View. However, if you have created multiple Title Masters then when you insert a New Slide the slide properties would not affect your newly inserted slide.
In our PowerPoint Tips and Tricks secton, you will find the category PowerPoint and Slides. The step-by-step guide to creating multiple PowerPoint Slide Masters and PowerPoint presentations with Multiple Slide Masters can by found at How can I create multiple Slide Masters in PowerPoint?. |

Thanks for you welcome Charles. Maybe I need to make myself a bit clearer in terms of my needs and more appropriately what I did.
My feeling was that once the formatting was done in Slide Master it would have / should have remained. What did I do wrong? Why after "jazzing up" the slides with the Design Templates do I lose the Font settings in all the slide Titles?
Thanks for any further suggestions,
Joe

Hi Joe, thanks for the detailed explanation. It makes it so much easier for me to help you. I see your problem now. You see you created your slides within one PowerPoint template and then you applied another PowerPoint template to the open and existing template design. A PowerPoint Design Template is not just the visual shell or "clothes" Joe, it contains all visual settings such as Fonts, Font Sizes, Colors, Object Placement etc., as well as the visual design. Once you applied a PowerPoint Template design to your slides, you replace all the formatting of your slides with the formatting defined in the new PowerPoint template. What this means Joe, is that you have to work with the template design and make the adjustments to that design, rather than create your own PowerPoint Slide Master and then apply a default template to it. Applying a PowerPoint template as I say also means applying all the templates settings which will replace yours. |

Very nice of you to sift through and highlight my problem, Charles. I am most grateful. I have now created 4 PowerPoint Design Templates in Slide Master with the Font requirements
of the Titles and saved them in the Template Folder [File > Save as... > Template] On applying these PowerPoint Design Templates separately on the Slide layouts of my presentation the desired effect was achieved. Thanks once again. Joe
