Slide Layouts Which to use? The page numbering and title on every layout is in the same place, whether the red bar is across the top or along the left side. While it is preferable to have all slides in a presentation use either the top bar layouts or the side bar layouts, it is possible to mix them. The content boxes can contain text, tables, charts and graphs, SmartArt graphics, or images When inserting content from other PowerPoint files, remember to apply a slide layout and check that all content is using the master boxes
