You have the flexibility to change colors, but by following the preset colors, you can be sure that the presentation's colors will complement each other. A Master is a flexible document or slide that is used for creating a uniform look to a presentation. Some items that might be included on a master may be a logo or the title of the presentation. These items would, by default, appear on every subsequent slide. However, you do have the option of not using the master for every slide.
Templates are pre-designed slides to make the creation process easier or to save time.
All templates have a preset color scheme and master. A template can be used to start a new presentation or while a presentation is open. An object can be selected by just clicking on it. To add an object, you can copy and paste text, pictures or graphics from another document or you can utilize the insert functions under the Insert menu. To remove an object, click on it, select clear from the edit menu or press the delete key.
