Perhaps you want to change the color scheme for a few slides in a special section of your PowerPoint® 2000 presentation. Or you have several slides that require some special text formatting or a special layout. Once you've got the slide layout you want, the slide color scheme defined perfectly, and that special text formatting applied to one slide, you can quickly make copies of it.

To do this, display the slide you want to copy. (You can select a slide or slides in slide sorter view, or in the outline pane in normal view. To duplicate a single slide, click any of the text for that slide in the outline or slide pane.) Then, press CTRL+SHIFT+D.

For more information about changing individual slide attributes, type change the slide layout or change a slide so that it differs from the slide master in the Office Assistant or on the Answer Wizard tab in the PowerPoint Help window, and then click Search.
