The easiest way to quickly make the same change on multiple slides—for example, resizing text, repositioning a graphic, or using a different background color—is to modify the master on which the slides are based.

To customize a master slide:

  1. Select a slide you want to modify.

  2. Click View in the toolbar and choose Show Master Slides.

  3. In the slide navigator, click the master slide used for the selected slide (the master slide has a checkmark next to it).

  4. Make your changes to the master slide.

    All slides based on that master inherit the changes you make to the master slide.

For more detailed information about modifying master slides and creating your own themes, see Designing Master Slides and Themes.
