Learn PowerPoint 2011 for Mac: Duplicate Slide Masters

Duplicating a Slide Master is different from adding a new Slide Master. And it’s a time saving option because you don’t have to make the same changes all over again — let’s explain this with a scenario. Imagine you have formatted your existing Slide Master by applying a Background Style, adding a logo, or even adding your own Picture placeholder layout. And now you want a new Slide Master that’s almost the same as your existing one — but you want a different Theme Colors set to be used. For such a small change, it is advisable that you duplicate your existing Slide Master and then make any more changes instead of starting all over again with a new Slide Master.

Learn PowerPoint 2011 for Mac: Add and Rename Slide Masters

The Slide Master is a very important part of your presentation that influences the appearance of everything you see on the slide — from the slide background to the fonts used for text. All slides in your presentation may have different layouts — and each of these layouts may have different placeholder arrangements. However, they all share a common look — that look is provided by the Slide Master. Every presentation has at least one Slide Master. However, if you constantly keep adding slides from other presentations, you may have inadvertently added more Slide Masters 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?
