If you don’t want the charts on the slide, delete them.
Defining Default Transitions
You can specify a default transition style for a master slide so that any slide based on
the master automatically uses the specified style to go to the next slide.
To set the default transition style for a master slide:
1
Click View in the toolbar and choose Show Master Slides.
2
In the master slide navigator, select a master slide.
3
In the Transition pane of the Master Slide inspector, define the transition. For more
information, see “Adding Transitions Between Slides” on page 113.
Creating Builds on Master Slides
You can add object builds to a master slide so that the build effects appear on every
slide based on that master.
For example, if you plan to create a number of slides with bulleted text, and you want
each slide to build in bullet by bullet, create a master slide with the desired build
effects, and then use that master to create the rest of your slides.
To create a build on a master slide:
1
Click View in the toolbar and choose Show Master Slides.
2
In the master slide navigator, select a master slide.
