Can apply Multiple Masters on Mac version..Help please.

[Gregg]

The documentation for Mac versions say it supports multiple masters
but doesn't explain HOW!

I received a PowerPoint file from a PC that contains multiple Slide
Masters and multiple Title Masters. I can view these various masters
in View but can't apply them to slides.

The individual slides seem only able to have the master that was
originally assigned.

I can go into PC with the file and change them with no problem but on
MAC there seems to be no way to do this.

Am I missing something! Please help otherwise I'll have to buy a PC
just to be able to apply these multiple master pages.

I'm running into the same problem right now. I'm looking into Virtual
PC so I don't have to get an entirely new system and monkey around
with moving files. I don't have any decent Mac documentation. Picked
up "PowerPoint Advanced Presentation Techniques" by Faithe Wempen.
It's really good, but written for the PC. Let me know if you hit
anything.

Greg,

There might be a better solution, but anyway, this is what I do on PPT:Mac

First create a presentation with design A
Second create ON A SEPARATE file the rest of the slides with design B

With the advance option selected, use the slide sorter mode, copy what you
want from presentation B and paste them (also in slide sorter view) in
presentation A.

You can move slides around. When you are on a slide from a particular
design, adding a new slide will inherit the slide design.

Hope it helps
