Powerpoint 2000 Master Templates

When you want to make a change to the master template your presentation is based on, you can always open the View menu and choose Master, Slide Master or whichever other master you want to work with, but here's a faster way.   First, hold down the Shift key while you click one of the view icons at the lower left of your screen to go directly to the corresponding Master view. For example, hold down Shift and click the Slide View button to go directly to the Slide Master view. You click the same button without the Shift key held down to return to Slide view.

And here's another little trick: While you're in Slide Master view, press the PageDown key to go to the Title Master view. The PageUp key returns you to Slide Master. Some templates don't include a Title Master. If yours doesn't and you'd like to add one, here's how. Hold down the Shift key while you click the Slide View button as described above. That takes you to the Slide Master. Then, choose Insert, New Title Master (or press Ctrl-M). Your template now includes a Title Master that you can format as you like.
