Format, position, and resize headers and footers

Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2003

  1. On the View menu, point to Master, and then click the master you want to change— either the Slide Master, Notes Master, or Handout Master.
  2. On the master, click the header or footer placeholder you want to make changes to.
  3. Do any of the following:

    • To resize the placeholder, point to a sizing handle, and when the pointer becomes a two-headed arrow, drag the handle.
    • To reposition the placeholder, point to it, and when the pointer becomes a four-headed arrow, drag the placeholder to a new position.
    • To add or change a fill color and/or border, on the Format menu, click Placeholder, click the Colors and Lines tab, and select options under Fill and Line.
    • To change the font, on the Format menu, click Font, and select options in the Font dialog box.

Notes

  • If you delete any of the header and footer placeholders on the master, do the following in master view: On the Formatting menu, click Master Layout, and then under Placeholders, select the check box for the deleted placeholder.
  • Changes you make to the handout master will also appear when you print your presentation in outline view.
