Note
The slide masters you have loaded will also be available the next time you load the
presentation. If you want to delete the unused slide masters, click the corresponding
checkbox in the Slide Design dialog. If the slide master was not used in the
presentation, it is removed from the list of available slide masters.
Tip
To limit the size of the presentation file, you may want to minimize the number of slide
masters used.
Modifying a slide master
The following items can be changed on a slide master:
• Background (color, gradient, hatching, or bitmap)
• Background objects (for example, a logo or decorative graphics)
• Size, placement, and contents of header and footer elements to appear on every slide
• Size and placement of default frames for slide titles and content
For more information on modifying slide masters, see the Impress Guide Chapter 2 Using Slide
Masters, Styles, and Templates.
