Rename slide masters
in [Powerpoint]
|
From: David Price on 12 May 2008 07:09 I am using PWP 2003 on Windows Vista. I have created a template .POT with four master slides. I have renamed and protected each on the masters. When I open the template the master names are intact but if I create a NEW presentation from the template then the name of the first slide master reverts to the name of the template. I have tried chnaging the default slide master so that when I save the template I don't use the first master on any of the slides but this does not make any difference. Any ideas of a way around this?

The names are all preserved, I'm using ppt 2003 sp3 on XP Pro SP2 though not Vista -- ------------------------------------------- Amazing PPT Hints, Tips and Tutorials http://www.PPTAlchemy.co.uk http://www.technologytrish.co.uk email john AT technologytrish.co.uk "David Price" wrote: > I am using PWP 2003 on Windows Vista.

From: David P on 12 May 2008 08:21 John I've tried it on 2003 sp3 on XP Pro SP2 and I still can not get it to do as I want and as you seem to suggest. 1. create a new presentation 2. in master view rename slide master 3. save presentation as design template .POT 4. create a new presentation from the .POT file by using File, New (or whatever) The name of the "design" on the status bar is the name of the POT file and in master view the name of the slide master is the name of the POT file and in Slide Design task pane the name of the slide miniture is the name of the POT file. The renamed master is lost. However, if the start a new presentation from the blank template and then apply the custom POT after then it does show the renamed master. It therefore seems pointless to rename the first master slide in a template. -- David P "John Wilson" wrote: > Probably not a lot of help but that doesn't happen here!

From: John Wilson john AT technologytrish.co DOT on 12 May 2008 08:44 Hi David Here I can either open a new file with the default pot and apply my template or New > From my template In both cases the names of the masters are all retained. If you email me I'll send the pot file for you to see what happens there. The name in the status bar is the name or the master slide in use BTW. -- ------------------------------------------- Amazing PPT Hints, Tips and Tutorials http://www.PPTAlchemy.co.uk http://www.technologytrish.co.uk email john AT technologytrish.co.uk "David P" wrote: > John > > I've tried it on 2003 sp3 on XP Pro SP2 and I still can not get it to do as > I want and as you seem to suggest. > > 1. create a new presentation > 2. in master view rename slide master > 3. save presentation as design template .POT > 4. create a new presentation from the .POT file by using File, New (or > whatever) > > The name of the "design" on the status bar is the name of the POT file and > in master view the name of the slide master is the name of the POT file and > in Slide Design task pane the name of the slide miniture is the name of the > POT file.

From: David Price on 13 May 2008 04:11 John, I've tried this always on several PCs and it always renames the first master slide to the name of the template. PLease send your example.
