It was my understanding that the slide master create a "template" for all the slides in the slide show. The title master inherited traits from the slide master, but it could have separate "template" features from the slide master. Recently I worked on a show in which I had a graphic I wanted to appear on all the slides but the first (title) slide. That worked well. But when I went to modify the title master so that that graphic wouldn't appear, the title master option in the View > Master menu was unavailable (grayed out). I've run into this before, but never had the time to trouble-shoot. Any ideas? ************************************************************* You are receiving this mail because you subscribed to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or MicrosoftOffice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To send mail to the group, simply address it to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To Unsubscribe from this group, send an email to mso-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?Subject=unsubscribe Or, visit the group's homepage and use the dropdown menu.
