Modifying Layouts

Certain slide elements—such as a body text box and object placeholders—are

preformatted and located in specific places on each master slide. You can easily add

these elements to individual slides.

To change a slide’s layout:

1

Select the slide whose layout you want to change.

2

Choose View > Show Inspector and click the Slide Inspector button.

3

Click Appearance.

4

Select the elements you want to add.

Note: If you delete one of these items from a slide, the checkbox in the Slide

Inspector is automatically deselected.

If none of the available master slide layouts meet your needs, you can create your

own master slide with whatever elements you want on it, and then create a new slide

based on that master. If you are going to create a number of slides that include a

graphic, you can add a “placeholder” box to contain it. You can also add a slide

number.

To learn how to design your own master slide layouts, see Chapter 9, “Designing Your

Own Master Slides and Themes.”

tables, and images appear
in a specific place on
slides, select Object
