Working with placeholders

The Title Master Slide you just applied to the first slide of the project contains many objects. Some of these, such as the blue circle on the right of the slide, the blue lines stretching across the slide, or the image background, are aesthetic elements. Other objects define the placement and formatting of your content.

These objects are placeholder objects. Your next task is to add text in the two placeholders of the slide:

  1. Double-click the title placeholder
  2. Write Take the train ! into the placeholder
  3. Double-click the subtitle placeholder
  4. Write A guide to the best way of moving around in Belgium ! into the placeholder
  5. Click anywhere on the slide or press the Esc key to complete your edits

Using Master Slides and placeholders makes it fast and easy to develop your eLearning content. It also ensures that the look and feel of your slides and objects are consistent within the file and across projects.
