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
