Defining Default Attributes of Imported Images
You can set default attributes such as shadow, reflection, opacity, and border (stroke)
color, so that any image you add to your slideshow automatically uses the default
settings.
To set default image attributes:
1 In the slide navigator, create a new slide.
2 If you’re setting up default attributes for a particular master slide (rather than all masters
using the current theme), click Masters in the toolbar and choose the master slide.
3 Place an image on the slide and set its default attributes. For more information, see the
following topics:
“ Â Selecting Multiple Objects” on page 87
“ Â Adding Shadows” on page 98
“ Â Adjusting Opacity” on page 99
“ Â Changing the Style of Borders” on page 96
