PS Ch.2--"Yes Master"

The Slide Master controls the formatting for all the slides in the presentation. The Slide Master increases productivity by letting you change one thing for all slides without you having to go through each one. It is letting you be lazy. You can change font, size, color, style, background, spacing, and alignment. Changing the Slide Master affects the appearance of all of the slides in a presentation associated with that master slide, and gives them a consistent look.

PS Ch.1--"What To View?"

You can use Notes Page to help you make a presentation, or as a handout to your audience to guide them through your presentation.The Notes Page view displays your slide on the top portion of the page, with the speaker notes for each slide in the notes pane on the bottom of the page. To add speaker notes, click in the notes pane and begin keying, or you can open the View menu and choose Notes Page.
