Adding headers or footers in a presentation

You can add a text object to the slide templates to act as a header, or modify existing footer objects.

To create a header for each presentation slide:
  1. To create a header or a footer for each presentation page:
    1. Choose View > Master > Slide Master View.
    2. From the Main toolbar, click the Text icon Text to select a text box for the header.
    3. Click the slide template to insert a text object, then type or paste your text.
    4. Format the text the way that you want.
    5. Drag the edge of the text object to the top of the page. This is where your header will appear.
  2. To create a footer for each presentation page:
    1. Choose View > Master > Slide Master View.
    2. At the bottom of the slide template, drag the edge of the Date Field, Number Field, and Footer Field text objects to where you want each field to display on the page. You can also format each text object to appear the way you want it to. The Date Field displays the date and/or time on each presentation page. The Number Field displays the slide number on each presentation slide. The Footer field displays the text that you want at the bottom of each page.
    3. Click the Switch to Normal View button in the lower left corner of the workspace to return to the Normal view.
    4. Click Create > Header and Footer, and choose your date/time format and page number, and add your footer text.
