You may have observed an omnipresent company logo in many slides. That raises a question: do you really need to have a company logo on all your slides? First, it takes a fair amount of space. Secondly, the audience knows which company the speaker belongs to since that information is almost always placed on the first slide. Also speakers do introduce themselves and their companies. So, do all slides need that extra branding? All these questions are fair, and there are equally fair answers for them. You should certainly add a company logo to your first slide, and then place a more subtle or watermarked logo on the rest of the slides, or even no logo at all. Fortunately, PowerPoint makes it easy to add a logo to all your slides, and then you can make it sure that some slides have no logo at all or even a more understated version of the logo.

Slide Layouts are arrangements of placeholders that make it easy for you to create consistent looking slides. You can change between the slide layout applied to any slide but there may be times when the slides themselves may have been individually altered so that the consistency factor is absent altogether!

Comments Off on Slide Master and Slide Layouts: Applying Slide Layouts in PowerPoint
When you insert Slide Numbers on your slides, you may discover that the location of the Slide Number changes depending upon the active Theme of your slides. With some Themes, the Slide Number may be placed at the bottom right. With other Themes, it may be located at the top right. The location of the Slide Number may seem to be influenced by the Theme, and that’s almost true. However, a Theme is a larger concept. It’s only the Slide Master, a subset of your Theme that’s influencing the position of your Slide Numbers.

Comments Off on Slide Master and Slide Layouts: Changing Location of Slide Numbers in PowerPoint
The moment you add a Slide Number to your slides in Normal view, you expect to see them immediately thereafter. However many times you may not see any Slide Number, or worse, you may see the Slide Number in just a few of the slides! The reason this happens is because Slide Numbers can appear only if the slides have a Slide Number placeholder, if you add Slide Numbers to a slide that has no Slide Number placeholder, then you won’t see any Slide Number!
