Using an existing slide to create master slide views

microsoft-powerpointmicrosoft-powerpoint-2016

Is there a way I could transfer normal slides in powerpoint to master view? As in, I want ALL my slides from a presentation to be slide views.

Explanation: the request was to just make a presentation about how the company presentations should look like, but after seeing it, they would like to make all of the slides avaliable as templates(views, some of them with predifined text and images), and the design of presentation an actual theme.

Is there a simple way of doing it or do I have to manually make the Master & Slide views? Based on my research, the answer is NO, but I would like to confirm that before I waste hours to copy and make the whole master.

Any information or advice is appreciated!

This is done as follows :

  • In the normal slide, type Ctrl+A to select all the items on the slide and copy them using Ctrl+C.
  • Go into Master View and paste the items onto a new Master Slide.
  • Convert the text into placeholder text where you want it to be editable in Normal View.
