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

  1. You saved a presentation as a PowerPoint Template (.potx). Where are the Slide Master settings stored within that file?

    Answer: Embedded within the .potx file itself

    A .potx file is a ZIP-based package that embeds all Slide Master and layout XML directly inside the file.

  2. A colleague's presentation has two Slide Masters. You want to merge them into your presentation. Which method imports both masters?

    Answer: Both A and B can import additional Slide Masters

    Both pasting with Keep Source Formatting and using Reuse Slides can pull a source file's Slide Master into the destination presentation.

  3. Which tab appears in the Ribbon only when you are in Slide Master view?

    Answer: Slide Master

    The Slide Master tab is a contextual tab that appears in the Ribbon exclusively when Slide Master view is active.

  4. You want a layout to use a two-column text arrangement. What is the correct approach in Slide Master view?

    Answer: Insert two separate Text placeholders side by side on the layout

    Inserting two separate Text (or Content) placeholders positioned side by side on a layout creates a two-column arrangement for that layout.

  5. After modifying a Slide Master, you click 'Close Master View.' What is the keyboard shortcut to return to Slide Master view quickly?

    Answer: There is no direct keyboard shortcut; use the View tab

    PowerPoint does not have a dedicated keyboard shortcut for Slide Master view; you must navigate via View > Slide Master.

  6. A content placeholder on a layout allows users to insert which types of objects?

    Answer: Text, table, chart, SmartArt, picture, and video

    A Content placeholder presents an icon grid letting users insert text, tables, charts, SmartArt, pictures, or online video.

  7. You apply the 'Two Content' layout to a slide. The layout was defined in Slide Master view. Can you resize one of its placeholders on the slide?

    Answer: Yes, you can resize placeholders on individual slides without affecting the layout

    Placeholders can be moved and resized on individual slides; changes affect only that slide and do not modify the underlying layout.
