Slide Master and Slide Layouts: Handout Master in PowerPoint

Handouts are presentation accompaniments that are almost always intended for print. It is a good idea to distribute handouts before your PowerPoint presentation’s delivery so that the audience can follow along the presentation. If you don’t do so, you may certainly want to carry handouts with you to distribute as takeaways for your audience. You can control the look of your handouts by formatting the Handout Master. This can be useful if you want to include a graphic such as a logo on each page of your handout.

Slide Master and Slide Layouts: Title Master in PowerPoint

When PowerPoint is launched, or when you create a new presentation, you typically see the first slide of the presentation. This slide is known as the Title slide. It contains placeholders for the slide title and the slide subtitle. Note that this layout is different from other slides which typically have a title placeholder with another placeholder for bulleted text (or a chart, graphic, etc.). All these other slides are influenced by the Slide Master, which governs their appearance and layout. The appearance and look of the Title Slide is influenced by the Title Master. This is a separate Master that is a subset of the Slide Master.

Slide Master and Slide Layouts: Slide Master in PowerPoint

Even if you are not aware, every presentation you create has its own Slide Master. This Master governs the default attributes like slide background, font choices, colors, and even the positioning of the placeholders in your slide. Thus if you end up with a 50 slide presentation that uses center aligned titles that you want changed to left aligned titles in a larger font size. Then you need to make this change only once within the Slide Master, and all 50 slides update at once with your new Title formatting!
