In which view of MS PowerPoint should you work if you want the title font and the background of every slide in the presentation to change at once?
- A.Normal View
- B.Slide Sorter View
- C.Outline View
- D.Slide Master View
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is D, Slide Master View. The slide master holds the formatting that every slide built on it inherits — title font, body font, bullet style, background, colour scheme and the position of a logo — so one edit there updates the whole deck. It is reached from the View tab, and with it come the Handout Master and the Notes Master. Option A, Normal View, edits one slide at a time, so the same change would have to be repeated on every slide. Option B, Slide Sorter View, only arranges slides; it cannot change formatting. Option C, Outline View, shows nothing but the text of titles and placeholders and is used for drafting content quickly, not for design. Note also that one deck may carry more than one slide master, one for each design used in it, and every master brings its own set of layouts with it.
