EDITING AND FORMATTING A SLIDE
We can format a slide by adding header. footer, background, watermark and slide number. Let us learn about
them.
Inserting Header and Footer
Header and Footer is the information of a page that is separated from the main body of the text and appears
at the top and bottom of the page.
To make the presentation more effective and informative, the user can write the topic name, date & time, slide
number and event name for which the slides are presented. The user can display the slide number as the
footer. Header is visible only in Notes and Handout view. To insert the Header or Footer:
Step 1: Click on the ‘View’ menu and select the ‘Header and Footer’
option. The ‘Header and Footer’ dialog box appears.
Step 2: In the ‘Slide’ tab of the dialog box, ‘Check’ or ‘Uncheck’ the
Date & time and Footer & Slide number checkboxes.
To automatically update the Date and/or Time, choose the Date
and/or Time format in the ‘Variable’ option. Suppose one has
created the presentation on 3rd January 2021 at 10.35 AM and it
is to be displayed on 5th of April; if this option is checked, the
presentation will be displayed with the updated date and time, (i.e.
5th of April with the current time).
Text can also be typed in the text box provided in the footer option. The text will appear as footer on the
slides during the presentation.
Step 1: Click on ‘Apply to All’ to apply the changes to all the slides or click on ‘Apply’ to apply the changes to
the selected slides only.
Step 2: To change or add the Header information, click on the ‘Notes and Handouts’ tab in the ‘Header and
Footer’ dialog box.
Step 3: Type the desired text for Header and click on ‘Apply to all’.
