Next, this Testimonials slide still has the design and layout from the original master, so I’ll open the Layout gallery again and choose the Testimonials: Corporate layout.įor my other Testimonials content, I’ll insert New Slide and choose Testimonials: Nonprofit and Testimonials: Personal from the gallery. They are grouped under the new master 'Fabrikam Testimonials'. The Testimonials Section Header slide still has its original design applied, so I’ll right-click it, point to Layout, and look for my new layouts. We’ll switch to Normal view now, and apply our design and layouts. Let’s also change the Section Header layout’s name to "Testimonials Section Header". For each, we click Rename Layout and change the name. So, these are the new customized layouts. I’ll right-click the box, click Format Shape, and under FILL, choose another Color: dark orange.įor the Nonprofit layout, we’ll follow the same steps and choose a lighter brown. The second one will be "Testimonials: Nonprofit", and the third one "Testimonials: Personal". We’ll change this one, so it says "Testimonials: Corporate". I’ll press Ctrl+D twice to duplicate it twice and we’ll make each layout unique. There are various types of testimonials from our customers, so first I am going to copy this layout. To customize the layouts, I’ll first delete those that I won’t need, keeping only the Title slides and the Testimonials layout. I’ll move the picture all the way left, right-click it, and choose Send to Back, to put it behind other content. Instead of a background fill, I’ll click the INSERT tab, Pictures, and insert a picture file. To remove the current background, I click Background Styles and choose a white background. We’ll call it "Fabrikam Testimonials", and we’ll give it a unique design, starting with the background. It has the same name as the original master, Fabrikam Theme, but with a number 1 in front, meaning it is the first copy of the original. The new master gets inserted as number 2. To keep many of the design details of the current master, I’ll right-click the master, and choose Duplicate Slide Master.

Let’s switch to Slide Master view and create a new master. My solution? Create an additional slide master for that section. But after thinking about it, I’d really like this 'Testimonials' section to look different from the rest of the slides, with its own layouts. In this presentation, I have customized the slide master and various master layouts and applied those changes to the slides.
