• Slide master
Contains elements that appear on all slides. For example, you might want your
company logo to appear in the same place on every slide. The slide master also
determines the text formatting style for the heading and outline of every slide that
uses that master page, as well as any information you want to appear in a header
or footer.
• Notes master
Determines the formatting and appearance of the notes in your presentation.
Creating a Slide Master
Impress comes with a collection of preformatted master pages. Eventually, most users
will want to customize their presentations by creating their own slide masters.
1 Start Impress, then create a new empty presentation.
2 Click View → Master → Slide Master.
3 Right-click the left-hand panel, then click New Master.
4 Edit the slide master until it has the desired look.
5 Click Close Master View or View → Normal to return to Normal View.
TIP
When you have created all of the slide masters you want to use in your presen-
tations, you can save them in an Impress template. Then, any time you want
to create presentations that use those slide masters, open a new presentation
with your template.
Applying a Slide Master
Slide masters can be applied to selected slides or to all slides in the presentation.
