Step-by-Step Guide
To use the Slide Master hack, follow these simple steps:
First, open your PowerPoint presentation and make sure you are in the normal view. Here, you will see all your slides in the order they will appear. To quickly switch to the Slide Master view, press the Shift key on your keyboard. Keep the Shift key pressed while clicking on the Slide Master icon in the top menu bar.
By taking this simple step, you transform your view into the Slide Master view, which allows you to globally adjust the design and layout of your slides.
