Using the Slide Master PowerPoint comes with a special type of slide called the slide master. The slide master controls certain text characteristics such as font type, size, and color called "master text," as well as background color and certain special effects, such as shadowing and bullet style. 1. On the View menu, point to Master, and then click Slide Master. Keep in mind that there is also a Title and a Handout Master. 2. To add a picture to the Slide master, click on the Insert Clip Art icon. (Or, on the Insert menu, click on Picture and Clip Art.) You don t have to add a picture; you can add anything you d like to appear on each slide of your presentation. 3. Make your selection and click Insert. You can then click on your new object and drag it to any location on the slide. 4. To see all your slides click Slide Sorter on the toolbar. Note: If the object doesn t appear on your slides, click Background on the Format menu, and make sure the Omit background graphics from master check box is cleared.

Under the Effects tab, select the animation type (or select "No Effect" to turn an animation off) and direction from the drop-down menus and select a sound if you wish. 4. Select an After animation effect if the text should change colors after the animation executes. o Color palette - Select one of the color swatches or click More Colors for a larger selection. The text will change to the selected color when the mouse is clicked during the slide show. o Don't Dim - This option erases all After Animation effects. o Hide After Animation - Text will be immediately erased after the animation is completed. o Hide on Next Mouse click - The text will be erased when the mouse is clicked. 5. Choose the style of displaying the text under the Introduce text section. The drop-down menu provides options for displaying the characters for each bulleted item. Select "All at once" for the text to appear immediately, "by Word" for the text to appear one word at a time, or "by Letter" for a typewriter effect that displays one letter at a time.
6. Select if you would like each level of your text to animate separately by choosing the appropriate Grouped by level. 7. Click the Order & Timing tab to alter the order that the objects appear on the slide. Highlight the object in the Animation order box and click the Move arrows to move the object's position within the animation sequence. Under Start animation, choose "On mouse click" to activate the animation by clicking the mouse or "Automatically" for the animation to execute after a set number of seconds.
