Adding Alignment Guides to Master Slides

You can create alignment guides to help you place your text and graphics consistently
on each slide. Alignment guides created on a master slide are available when you’re
placing objects on any slides based on that master.

To create alignment guides on a master slide:

1

Select the master slide to which you want to add the alignment guides.

2

Click View in the toolbar, and then choose Show Rulers.

3

Place the pointer on a ruler and drag an alignment guide to wherever you want on the

master slide.
To place a horizontal guide, drag from the ruler at the top of the slide.
To place a vertical guide, drag from the ruler on the left side.
You can also turn on gridlines that show on master slides and appear dynamically on
slides. For more information, see “Using Master Gridlines” on page 92.
