I am a little confused. On my master slide, I included headers and
footers. It works great for all the new slides I have created after
that - BUT, when I OMIT MASTER GRAPHIC (FORMAT>BACKGROUND), the header
and footer disappears from the slide - I am taking a class in this -
so this isn't an isolated instance, almost all of the class had the
same issue using 2003. Is this a bug? is there a way to fix this? I
know that if I UNCHECK the OMIT MASTER GRAPHIC the footer reappears,
but why would it do that?

Thanks

It's not a bug, it's the way it's supposed to work, though the label on that
option is a bit misleading. When you choose the option it actually omits
EVERYTHING from the master slide, not just "graphics"

Thank you. Is there anyway to fix this? If I wanted a master slide
with the header and footer, but not the graphic?

Personally, I would create a second master slide set that has the header and
footer, but no graphic. You can then apply that master explicitly to the
slides that need to have the header and footer, but not the graphic.

To create the new master, go to the Master Slide View (View --> Slides-->
Slide Master), select the current master slide and insert a duplicate
master. On that master, remove your graphic.

To use the master, return to normal (editing) view. Select the slides you
want to use the second master. Bring up the Design task pane. Click the drop
down arrow next to the master slide without the graphic. From the list,
select "Apply to selected slides".

Hope this helps!
