When I bring up the slide master, there are not dotted borders around
the
three sections of the footer, so I can't even select them to do
anything
with
(move, edit, delete). Unfortunately I think I will have to start over
(close
to 200 slides in five files). That's too bad that PP 2007 won't "read"
PP
2003 completely. Thanks for your suggestions.

Okay, thanks.
Can you select the three footer boxes (the date, the slide number, the
footer) on the slide master (big thumbnail)? Try to grab those and
delete
them (just press delete on the keyboard). Then add them back using the
Master Layout option on the Slide Master tab of the Ribbon. Click that
button, then click Date, Time and Footer.
Once you've got them back, try using Insert | Header and Footer to
insert
the text.
You might actually want to delete them from all the slide layouts
before
adding them back to the slide master. Then add them back to the
individual
slide layouts by clicking the Footer box on the Slide Master tab.

I amunable to edit it on either an individual slide or on the slide
master.
I
want to edit the slide master so the changes appear on every slide.
:
Are you trying to edit it on individual slide layouts? Can you edit
it
on
the slide master (the big thumbnail)?

No I can't. It just brings up a little Header and Footer window
like
I
am
starting from scratch, rather than going to the slide itself
where I
can
edit
it. On my slides, the footer, which appears on every slide, is in
three
sections. On the left section is some text (actually a copyright
notice).
In
the middle is the page number. On the right section is a file
reference.
:
If you choose Insert | Header and Footer, can you edit the text
there?

I have PP 2007. I have a PP 2003 presentation with old footers
on
it
that I
open in PP 2007. I want to edit the footers. But when I click
View>Slide
Master, I find no way to access the footer to edit it. I tried
checking
the
Footers box in the Master Layout group, but it wouldn't take
the
click.
The help menu was no help when I searched "edit footer."
Thanks in advance for any help.
