3 Using the Slide Master Each PowerPoint component, whether it is a slide, title slide, handout, or notes page, has a master, which controls its appearance. The title master controls the title slide and the slide master controls the other slides. Always go to the master and set the formatting and design that you want applied to all slides. This is a huge timesaver for you. For example, if you like a particular bullet set that bullet in the Slide master and it will appear on any slide you add bulleted items to. If you have a logo or other artwork that you want to add to every slide, add it once in the master and it will appear on every slide. To display the Slide Master: Hold down the Shift key while you click the Slide View button. Or Select the View menu and move down to the Master command.
