Designing Title and Body Text Layout and Styles
Default styles for title and body text boxes are defined on the master slide on which they
occur. To set the title or body text defaults on a master slide, you must first place title or body
text boxes on the master slide, and then select the text and set its attributes using the
Inspector panes, as you would set text attributes on any slide. As you change the text
settings, you should preview the new settings by creating a slide in the slide organizer,
applying the new master slide settings, and trying them out with some text.
To place title and body text boxes on a selected master slide:
1 In the Master Slide Inspector, select the Show Title checkbox to place a title text box.
2 Select the Show Body checkbox to place a body text box. This gives you bulleted text by
default. (To set a default style of no bullets, see “Creating Bulleted Text” on page 32.)
3 Resize and rearrange the text boxes until they are positioned the way you want.
4 If you want to include subtitle text, resize the body text box and place it under the title text
box. Format it without bullets.
5 Select the placeholder text in the title or body text box and format it with your preferred
styles. In the body text box, you can define attributes for up to five levels of bulleted text.
You can set the tab positions to determine how far each level of text in your outline is
indented and how much space there is between the bullet and the text.
To set bulleted text tabs:
1 Choose View > Show Rulers.
2 To set the tab stop for bulleted text:
a Select a bullet.
b In the ruler at the top of the slide canvas, locate the square blue tab icon that lines up
with the selected bullet.
