Read the first 7 PowerPoint: Slide Masters & Layouts flashcards as text

  1. You want every slide in your presentation to use the same custom font theme. Where is the most efficient place to set this?

    Answer: On the Slide Master

    Setting the font theme on the Slide Master propagates the change to all layouts and slides that inherit from it.

  2. Which view do you use to add a logo to all slides without editing each one individually?

    Answer: Slide Master view

    Objects placed on the Slide Master in Slide Master view appear on every slide that uses that master.

  3. A layout in Slide Master view has a placeholder that was deleted. How do you restore only that placeholder without affecting other layouts?

    Answer: On the Slide Master tab, click Insert Placeholder while the specific layout is selected

    With a specific layout selected in Slide Master view, the Insert Placeholder button on the Slide Master tab adds placeholders to just that layout.

  4. What happens to a slide layout that is not used by any slide when you close Slide Master view?

    Answer: PowerPoint prompts you to delete or keep unused layouts

    PowerPoint detects unused layouts on close and offers a dialog to delete them or keep them for future use.

  5. You insert a new Slide Master. How many default slide layouts does PowerPoint create with it?

    Answer: 11

    PowerPoint automatically generates 11 standard layouts (Title Slide, Title and Content, Section Header, etc.) under each new Slide Master.

  6. A presenter wants slide numbers to appear on every slide except the title slide. What is the best approach using Slide Master view?

    Answer: Both B and C achieve this goal

    You can either remove the footer/number placeholder from the Title Slide layout in Slide Master view or use the Header & Footer dialog's 'Don't show on title slide' option — both work.

  7. Which element set on the Slide Master is NOT automatically inherited by its child layouts?

    Answer: Unique placeholder positions added directly to a layout

    Placeholders added directly to an individual layout are specific to that layout and are not inherited from the Slide Master.
