In your presentation, a Slide Master is the element that influences everything, be it the slide background or the fonts used for text. Despite having different layouts, all slides in a presentation share a common look, which is provided by the Slide Master. There will be at least one Slide Master in every presentation. However, while adding slides from other presentations, you may end up adding more Slide Masters inadvertently to your presentation. So, how do you know how many Slide Masters your presentation contains? And, how do you add another one? In fact, why do you need another Slide Master at all? Whatever your opinion may be, it’s actually quite easy to add a new Slide Master.

When you type too much text into a smaller text box, you might have seen that PowerPoint automatically reduces the size of your text so that everything can fit in—or the text container itself increases in size. Does this automatic hand-holding by PowerPoint interrupt your work? Well, you really don’t have to worry because you can control this default behavior of PowerPoint.

When you insert a picture on your PowerPoint slide, you are doing a task that is frequent and commonplace. And to you, this may look like an activity that’s simple, but behind this simple task, there are options you may not be aware of. You can link to a picture rather than insert one. This means that if you make changes to your original picture, PowerPoint will update its copy on the slide!
