Hi, I am trying to set up a set of PP master slides that I or a client can access when they are doing a presentation. The slides would be a title slide but also 3-4 other slides with different color schemes. As well, I need to set up a couple of areas on the masters as "placeholder" text -- meaning where the typeface and style is pre-determined and they just type in their text. I do not see this addressed anywhere in the Help -- only how to access the existing templates. I am using Office 2004 for Mac. I am very grateful for any help.

Hi Paul! I suggest you ask your question in the microsoft.public.mac.office.powerpoint newsgroup. I've copied my reply there and also set the follow-up for this message to to there instead of back here. FYI, this newsgroup has been deprecated and replaced with microsoft.public.mac.office. Be sure to post any further questions in groups starting with microsoft.public.mac.office. You'll have a lot more eyes seeing your messages in those locations.

But before a meaningful reply can be offered it's necessary to know what version of PPt is involved - Masters are handled differently in most of the current versions. Also, Masters alone may not be the complete solution, so the differences in version need to be taken into consideration.
