Before you modify a master slide, you might want to duplicate it so that you can continue using the original version in your document.

To duplicate a master slide:
  1. Click View in the toolbar and choose Show Master Slides.

  2. In the master slide navigator, select the master slide you want to duplicate.

  3. Do one of the following:

    • Click New in the toolbar.

    • Choose Slide > New Master Slide.

    • Press Return.

    • Choose Edit > Duplicate.

  4. In the master slide navigator, double-click the new slide’s name and type a new name.

If you make changes to a master slide and then decide you want to return to the theme’s default settings, select the slide and choose Format > “Reapply Master to Selection.”
