Quickly add a slide title to a blank layout

Say you have used some slides with the blank layout in your presentation and want to quickly add titles to them?

In Normal view, click the Outline tab in the navigation pane on your left.

All slides with no title will appear as a blank icon. Click next to the blank icon and start typing your title it will automatically appear on your slide. If you do not want the title to appear during the presentation just drag it off the slide into the surrounding area, you may have to zoom to accomplish that.
