78 Chapter 3 Working With Text, Graphics, and Other Media
If none of the available master slide layouts meets 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.”
