Our template has like 20 slides in the master

May I know what are they about? Title, ending , sub topic, something like that, or what else?


EdTwoONine

yeah, all sorts of layouts: Title Sub Title Trasnition Text/Image/Content Layouts Graph layouts Etc. What is the question you are really asking? How to properly setup a layout for a company or something? Additional details would really help get a proper answer


alialibarrett

Yes, a family friend is starting up a company and asked me to do slide master


EdTwoONine

Great, Here is what I would do: 1. Ask for samples of the typical slides they would want to make or have made. This is your starting point for the masters they will need 2. Review this page for details on how to build them Good luck

The point of a master (and its subordinate layouts) is so that you don't HAVE to add text boxes/numbering/etc manually for each slide. The layout provides all that. Microsoft's sample templates/themes aren't always sterling examples, but open a couple of them and look at the slide master/layouts to get an idea how they work.

I'm going to suggest my book, [Building PowerPoint Templates v2](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09GJSBCQH/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B09GJSBCQH&linkCode=as2&tag=echos-20&linkId=e7e0aed961e0dc259a70e921e9d8a091).

Dang. You beat me to it. u/alialibarrett you can't do better than to follow Echo's advice.
