PowerPoint the slide master is the core content to ensure the consistency of the overall style, many people will encounter the same problem. The default master name of the system cannot indicate the characteristics of the enterprise brand or project. When we need to create multiple masters based on different themes, the chaotic name will make management extremely difficult. You said you can modify it manually, but the manual operation looks simple, but the operation interface under the master view is not intuitive, and even if you rename it, you can only modify it one master at a time. If there are dozens or hundreds of PPT and PPTX files, it will take a lot of time to replace them all.
Here to explain how to master the rapid batch modification of the master name of the three skills, whether it is brand norms, or to improve the efficiency of teamwork, can completely solve this problem.
When do you want to replace the name of the master in the PowerPoint file with other text?
Material template unified name
various PPT template files are saved on the Internet. The master names of these templates may be some strange words, which look very messy. If these templates are to be used for formal work reporting or external display, these masters should be renamed to standard names, which will not only make the files more professional, but also facilitate subsequent maintenance, and will not cause others to fail to understand the master structure after taking over.
Multi-person operation to avoid confusion
when the enterprise team jointly produces PPT, different colleagues may have copied slides in other templates, resulting in duplicate and conflicting master names. In order to prevent the rest of the team from mistakenly selecting the master or deleting the layout, replace the master name with more intuitive content, so that everyone knows which one to use at a glance, and there will be no layout confusion.
Enterprise brand name upgrade
the brand of the enterprise is upgraded or the image is adjusted. The previous PPT master name may no longer fit the current style. In order to make the new template more consistent and labeled, it is necessary to replace these old master names with new names to improve the efficiency of file management and facilitate new employees to get started quickly.
