*Why I Chose This Topic

* I chose my topic of editing the Slide Master because up until recently, I did not know what the feature was used for. I have spent a lot of time in the past editing every slide to be in a consistent format, not knowing that there was an easier way to edit the presentation. It really makes editing a PowerPoint quite easy, and saves you time because each slide does not have to be formatted individually.

* I used screen-clipping to show where to find Slide Master on the ribbon, and to show the master layout. I used shapes (arrows) found on the insert ribbon to point out the features of the master slide. I utilized clip art, which can be accessed on the insert ribbon as well, to add contrast in my presentation. I also used slide transitions to make my presentation flow.
