Creating Master out of existing

[cjt79]

i created my own page layout for all of my slides individually (very slow
process). How can i create a master slide from an existing slide I have
already done? I want to be able to copy the background certain placement of
a line and logo, then add in text and pictures, without having to go though
copying all of it and 'tweaking' every one individually. Thanks.

Copy the objects from one of the slides by pressing Shift and clicking the
objects to select them, then clicking the Copy icon or Ctrl+C to copy.

Then go to View | Master | Slide Master and click the Paste icon or Ctrl+V
to paste the objects. Select the placeholders for the slide title and
bulleted text and Draw | Order | Bring to Front so they're on the top
"layer" above the objects on the slide.

Then format the title placeholder and bulleted text placeholder so the fonts
will look like you want and be placed appropriately.

Then go to View | Normal to close Master View. Create your slides.
