Defining Default Attributes of Imported Images

color, so that any image you add to your slideshow automatically uses the default
settings.

To set default image attributes:

In the slide navigator, create a new slide.

If you’re setting up default attributes for a particular master slide (rather than all masters

using the current theme), click Masters in the toolbar and choose the master slide.

Place an image on the slide and set its default attributes. For more information, see the

following topics:
