Does anyone know how Master slides are meant to work? My understanding is
that Master slides provide default formatting values which can be overridden
on the individual slides. This seems to agree with:
"When you change the slide master, changes you have made to individual
slides are preserved."
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/powerpoint/HP051954061033.aspx
So I would have thought that if you changed to a different Master slide the
same would be true, where custom formatting would have been kept. However,
this does not appear to be the case for example if I create a new
presentation and change the font on the slide from black to white, then under
2007 changing to various Designs changes the colour of the font between black
and white and under XP it changes it to the same as the background colour
(these are different to the font colour defined in the master slide). So does
this make sense to anyone?
