Question 2

Which of the following changes made on the Slide Master will NOT automatically update slides that have manually overridden that property?

Accepted Answer

Changes to properties manually formatted on the slide itself

You need to apply a different Slide Master to only selected slides without affecting other slides. What should you do?

Accepted Answer

Select slides in Slide Sorter, then on the Design tab right-click the theme and choose 'Apply to Selected Slides'

Question 4

What is the purpose of the 'Preserve Master' option in Slide Master view?

Accepted Answer

It prevents PowerPoint from deleting the master if no slides use it

Enabling Preserve Master ensures PowerPoint keeps the Slide Master even if all slides using it are deleted, so it stays available for future use.

In Slide Master view, the Slide Master tab contains the Slide Size button where you can switch between standard (4:3) and widescreen (16:9) or set custom dimensions.
