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

  1. You apply a new theme to a presentation that already has a customized Slide Master. What happens to your customizations?

    Answer: The new theme replaces the Slide Master, removing customizations

    Applying a new theme replaces the existing Slide Master and its layouts, which overwrites any manual customizations you had made.

  2. How do you rename a custom slide layout in Slide Master view?

    Answer: Right-click the layout thumbnail and choose Rename Layout

    Right-clicking a layout thumbnail in Slide Master view reveals a context menu with the Rename Layout option.

  3. A picture placeholder on a layout shows a gray box with an image icon. What does clicking that icon do on a normal slide?

    Answer: Opens the Insert Pictures dialog to let you choose an image

    Clicking the picture icon inside a picture placeholder launches the Insert Pictures dialog so the user can browse for an image.

  4. You want a watermark text to appear on every slide but remain non-editable by other users. After placing it on the Slide Master, what additional step best prevents editing?

    Answer: Protect the Slide Master by restricting editing permissions in the Info tab

    Using File > Info > Protect Presentation options, you can restrict permissions so other users cannot modify the Slide Master.

  5. Which of the following placeholder types can be inserted into a slide layout in Slide Master view?

    Answer: Content, Text, Picture, Chart, Table, SmartArt, Media

    The Insert Placeholder menu in Slide Master view offers Content, Text, Picture, Chart, Table, SmartArt, and Media types — Online Image is not a placeholder type.

  6. What is the effect of hiding the background graphics on a specific slide?

    Answer: It removes Slide Master graphics only from that one slide

    The 'Hide Background Graphics' option on the Design tab applies only to the selected slide, suppressing inherited Slide Master graphics without altering the master.

  7. In Slide Master view, the top-most large thumbnail represents:

    Answer: The Slide Master that governs all layouts below it

    The large top thumbnail in Slide Master view is the Slide Master itself; the smaller indented thumbnails below it are the individual slide layouts it controls.
