Let's face it: We've all tried to copy a slide from one deck to another, only to have formatting, colors, fonts and layout blow up in our face. If you've ever thrown your hands up in frustration at trying to understand masters and how to maintain brand consistency when copying and pasting slides from here to there, then this session is for you.

Participants will learn:

• Why your layouts aren't matching up across decks and what to do about it
• The difference between resetting and reapplying a layout
• How to fix page numbering and footer issues
• How to manage color and font themes
• The pros and cons to "Keep source formatting"
