Adding a master slide
To add additional master slides, select Insert > Slide > Master Slides.
Though a project can have multiple master slides, you can link a slide to only one master slide.
Use the Property Inspector (Window > Properties) to:
• Label the master slide: Specify a unique label in the text box.
• Provide background color: Deselect Project Background and then select a color from Stage.
• Insert background images: Click the Browse icon
Adding objects
You can insert the following standard objects to a master slide:
• Text Caption
• Rollover Caption
• Rollover Image
• Highlight Box
All other standard objects are disabled.

Using master slides
When you work on your project slides, use the Property Inspector (Window > Properties) to:
•
Link, relink, or remove link to master slide: In the Master Slide drop-down list, make appropriate selection.
•
To have the master slide objects on top of the objects in your slide: Check Master Slide Object on Top.
Master slide objects maintain their own depth level (z-order). Therefore, you cannot mix up the order of master
slide objects and other objects in a project slide. Either you can bring master slide objects in front or send them
behind other objects.
Master slide maintains its own timeline. Therefore, master slide objects are not shown on the timeline of the linked
slide. You cannot adjust the timeline of master slide objects or change their Z-order on a project slide timeline.
•
Use master slide background: Select this option to use background color or background image from master slide.
