Add Shape to Master

Post by agibsonsw »

Hello. PowerPoint 2007.

I'm adding a rectangle to the Slide Master, but it needs to be further down in the Title Master.

How can I achieve this? If I move it, it affects every slide. If I add a second one I end up with two
rectangles.

Thanks, Andy.

If you want a shape on all slides except the master slide, you have to add it to each of the eleven layouts below the top one in Master View, except for the title slide layout. Do NOT add it to the top layout (by default named Office Theme Slide Master), for then it would be added to ALL slides.

There may be an easier way to do this but the ribbon makes it extremely difficult to find out.
Best wishes,
Hans

Thank you.
It wasn't so bad as I could copy and paste it to get it to appear in the same position.
