How to Edit the Branding of the Owner Presentation
You will need to open the Owner Presentation File within Microsoft Powerpoint
How to Open the Slide Master
In MS Power Point:
- Select View from the Top Navigation Menu
- Then Select Normal from the View Ribbon
- Next Select the Slide you want to edit by click on the Thumbnail View to the Left
- Then Select Slide Master from the View Ribbon
Note: This will take you right to the Layout within the Slide Master for the Particular Slide you have Selected.
However, once in the Slide Master you have access to all of the Layout Versions used in the Presentation, and can edit them without having to select each slide. (for example, this Presentation has 13 Layout versions, but it has 58 Slides; you will only need to edit the 13 Layouts and in doing so the 58 slides will be updated.)
How to Edit the Brand Elements in the Slide Master Layouts
TO FULLY CUSTOMIZE THE PRESENTATION TO YOUR BRAND, YOU WILL NEED TO CHANGE THE LOGO AND NAME IN EACH OF THE 13 SLIDE LAYOUTS.
From the Master View:
- Select the Slide Layout you want to edit by clicking on the Thumbnail View to the Left
- Then Select the LOGO element, by right clicking on it
- Select Change Picture from the right-click menu (this will allow you to select a new picture to replace it with, while keeping the same formatting [i.e. size, shadow, 3D effect, etc])
- Then Place your cursor on the Company Name Footer, to edit the Text
- When you are done, Select Close Master View from the View Ribbon
Note: Any time a layout has been modified in the Slide Master, this will change any slides in your presentation that are using that layout. In this way, you only need to make the change once, but it can effectively update multiple slides with that one action.
* These other items, outlined in red, can be changed in a similar fashion as the previous instruction indicates, or they can be deleted from the layout. However, this can only be done in the Slide Master as these items are not editable in the Presentation View.
Add a New Slide Using the Existing Theme Slide Layouts
In MS Power Point:
- Select Home from the Top Navigation Menu
- Next Select the Slide that you want the new slide to appear after, by clicking on the Thumbnail View to the Left
- Then Select Add Slide from the Home Ribbon
- Choose the Slide Layout you want to use, from the expanded Office Theme Menu
Note: The new slide will appear after the slide you have highlighted to the left.
