If you want to go further into backgrounds, you need to know a little bit about slide masters. Slide masters are like a skeleton of your PowerPoint.
You can view it at any time. On the HOME menu, go over here to New Slide, and click on that.
And you can see there is a whole bunch of different slides in Theme. They have different elements to them.
And, that is great to use. Anytime you do a new slide, just don't copy or duplicate the previous slide.
You can use a new one here.
Now you can edit those and that is what the master slide can do. I'll show you how to get into that.
So, click up here in the menu and click VIEW.
And, then click Slide Master. Now, everything on the left-hand side is the Slide Master.
You are not working on your presentation anymore, you are just working on slide masters.

OK. So, you can change anything here and you can use those slides.

When you are done with slide masters, just click here, Close Master View, and, you are back to your presentation.
