The Master Slide is the design template or design theme used for the slides within your presentation. There are four different master slides title master, notes master, handout master and the most common, the slide master. Master Slides reduce the time it takes to format your presentations.
When creating a Master slide, you would generally create a background to be used, select the fonts and formats of the text to be used in the PowerPoint and select the slide transitions.
To create a master slide open Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 and click on the View tab on the ribbon and then Slide Master.

As you can see you are given all of the different slide layouts on the left hand side of the window. You can see in the image above that we have applied a background to three of the slide layouts.
When placing images like the Otago Polytechnic swirl on your slides these will not be able to be edited or moved in the standard slide creator view. (This is great if you do not want people to mess around with the designs of your PowerPoints).
Once you have created your background design you can format the text to your desired color, size and style. To do this simply click on the text that you wish to edit (remember slide masters acts as a design template so do not enter your content) and click on the Home tab, then format your text accordingly.
To apply transition effects between slides simply click on the slides and apply transitions as you normally would.
Once you have your design of your PowerPoint complete click on Close Master View on the master ribbon.
