Add new editable text field in Master Layout?

[Philip Schuler]

Hi folks,

I simply cannot solve this problem via Powerpoint Help, Online Help,
whatever...

-> I want to add a third editable text field in my ppt master layout. The
behavior should be exactly the same as the two already existing fields (Title
Area for AutoLayouts / Object Area for AutoLayouts). So the field should be
editable in normal view.

Any suggestions? Is this possible at all?

Thanks for your input!
Philipp

Philip,
If I understand your problem correctly it seems you want to add a third
placeholder to the mother Master layout, you can't. You will have to add it
to the individual layout Title and object. It's the second one under the
mother master.

I was afraid that this isn't possible. Thanks for the quick answer!

This capability was added in PPT 2007. Which version are you running?
