How to change headers and footers in powerpoint. Editing a presentation slide template. Applying a different layout to a slide

In PowerPoint, the settings for inserting a footer and formatting individual elements are in different places. In this article, I will tell you not only how you can take advantage of these settings, but also how to turn a footer into a header.

Inserting a Footer in PowerPoint Slides

PowerPoint allows you to add independent headers and footers to each individual slide. If you want a certain element to appear on multiple slides, you will need to select the slides you want first. To select, click on the first slide with the mouse, hold down the Ctrl key and select the rest of the slides with one simple click.

In versions of the program released before 2003, the "Insert header and footer" command can be found in the "Browse" menu section; in the 2007 program, this command is located in the "Insert" section. Inside the first tab are the slide footer settings. In the standard version of the program, the ability to insert a header into a slide is not provided. Select all the elements you want to display. These include:

• permanent or updated date display
• slide number
• footer field content
• the ability to remove the slide number in the "Title Slide" format

Then click on the "Apply" command button located at the top right. Using the "Apply to All" command, you can insert the elements you need in the footer of all selected slides.

Formatting and Positioning Footer Elements

Open the slide template using the menu or via the "View" tab. Note that the first slide must be selected in the left column, where the thumbnail slides are displayed. This remark applies especially to more recent versions. PowerPoint programs. In these versions, the slide template that was displayed last in normal view is always selected. Scroll up the ribbon, select the first slide template. Unlike all others, the selected element will be displayed in an enlarged size.

The right window contains fields for the date, footer, and slide number at the bottom of the page. You can change the appearance and size of both text blocks and the text contained in them. Click in the required fields and make any necessary changes using the character bar, multi-function bar or menu ribbon.

Recommendation: A fixed date or fixed text can be written directly into the footer field of the slide. In order for the slides to display the current date and the correct slide number, use the "Footer and Header" menu section.

How to turn a footer into a header

If you want one or more text boxes to appear on your slides as a header, click on the desired text box with the mouse (a four-way arrow will appear) and hold down. Drag the block with the mouse to the desired position.

The title and list placeholders should also be moved so that the fields do not overlap (over the edge). Close the slide template by clicking on the special button in the character bar or through the bookmark. You will return to the previous view again (for example, to the Slide Sorting view).
