Which of the following defines the formatting for slides in a presentation?

The slide master defines the formatting and positioning for common elements—such as title placeholders, content placeholders, and footers—on the corresponding slide layouts. The changes that you make to the slide master are reflected on associated slide layouts.

What holds and positions content on a slide?

Slide layouts contain formatting, positioning, and placeholder boxes for all of the content that appears on a slide. Placeholders are the dotted-line containers on slide layouts that hold such content as titles, body text, tables, charts, SmartArt graphics, pictures, clip art, videos, and sounds.

What is a container for text that you can position anywhere on a slide?

In PowerPoint, a placeholder is a pre-formatted container on a slide for content (text, graphics, or video). The pre-set formatting makes it easier to format slides consistently. You format a placeholder in Slide Master view. Then you use the placeholder—add content to it—in Normal view.

Which of the following contain formatting positioning and placeholders for all of the content on a slide?
