    The slide master is a feature in presentation software that allows users to control the formatting and design of all slides in a presentation. By making changes to the slide master, such as modifying fonts, colors, backgrounds, and layouts, these changes are automatically applied to all slides in the presentation. This ensures consistency and saves time, as users do not need to manually format each slide individually. Therefore, the statement "The slide master controls the formatting for all the slides in the presentation" is true.
