Using an existing slide to create master slide views - Powerpoint 2018

I have a simple question: is there a way I could transfer normal slides in powerpoint to master view? As in, I want ALL my slides from a presentation to be slide views.



Explanation: the request was to just make a presentation about how the company presentations should look like, but after seeing it, they would like to make all of the slides avaliable as templates(views, some of them with predifined text and images), and the design of presentation an actual theme.



Is there a simple way of doing it or do I have to manually make the Master & Slide views? Based on my research, the answer is NO, but I would like to confirm that before I waste hours to copy and make the whole master.



Any information or advice is appreciated!
Thank you for your time!

          This is done as follows :




          • In the normal slide, type (Ctrl+A) to select all
            the items on the slide

          • Go into Master View and paste the items onto a new Master Slide

          • Convert the text into placeholder text where you want it to be editable
            in Normal View without having to go into Master View.
