Colour in master title does not flow through to slide

Philip Mark Hunt

I have created a title with non-black coloured words in my title only slide
master. When I then create a slide based on that master the words in the
master title come up, but they are in black. When I click on the text in the
box on the slide, with a view to explicitly setting the colour, the text goes
away.

I basically want the same title on all my slides and I want it be in a
colour that I have chosen.

I have had a look at the helps on masters, and I've also had a bit of a look
at themes. but just can't find the right help.

Please help. All ideas welcome.

Which version of PPT are you using?

You may need to reapply the slide layout on your slide -- that "resets" the
slide to reapply its master settings.

Thank you for advice. I have tried reapplying the layout, it does not solve
the problem. I am using PPT 2007 SP2.

Sorry it took me some time to get back to you, I had some problems
relocating my post; words in post title not being found in search.

Any more suggestions, welcome, please.

Hi Philip

When you say you want the same title, do you mean the exact same words, as
well as the colour? When you add text to the Master Title Placeholder,
PowerPoint replaces the usual 'Click here to add title' with whatever you
have written, which would explain why it disappears when you click it. If
you want the same text, put it in a normal textbox rather than a
placeholder.

As for the colour issue, I can't replicate that - perhaps you could walk us
through the exact steps you took? For example, did you select the text or
the placeholder? Did you do this to the 'mother' master (the big one at the
top) or one of the layouts? How many 'mother' masters do you have?

Oh, and about the web interface - it's fairly ordinary, try using a
newsreader instead:

Hi, Philip,

What Lucy said. :-)

Also, when you're on your title only slide layout (View | Master, choose the
title only layout), what color does the slide background have? If you
right-click on the edge of the slide and choose Format Background then go to
the Fill Color tab, which color swatch is selected there?

Then which color swatch have you selected for the title placeholder?

This may be one where it's easier to have you send the file and let us look
at it, but let's at least start with this before we go that route.

Thank you Lucy amd Echo

I created a new master with just the text box with my coloured words in it
and no title, header or footer and that solved my problem. Thank you for
your help and patience.
