Add A Border To All Slides (PowerPoint 2002)

In a previous article, I outlined how you can add a border to a single PowerPoint slide. However, what if you want to border to appear on all the slides? In this case, you will need to use the steps that are described below to add the border to the master slide. The steps are almost identical to those used when adding a border to a single slide. The only difference is that you must change to the Slide Master view.

1. From the View menu, point to Master and click Slide Master.

2. Select the slide you want to add a border to.
3. Click the Rectangle button on the Drawing toolbar.
4. Draw a rectangle on the slide that will become the border.
5. Right click the rectangle and click Format Autoshape.
6. Under the Fill section, use the drop down arrow beside Color and select No Fill.
7. Under the Line section, use the drop down arrow beside Color to choose the color you want to apply to the border.
8. Use the drop down arrow beside Style to change the style of the border.
9. Click OK.
