Multiple master pages in PPT2000

[Guest]

Hi there,

I have PPT 2000 and need to know if it's possible to have more master pages than just Title Master and Slide Master.

Microsoft on-line Assistance talks about using the Slide Design task pane to apply a design template to selected slides in my presentation which will mean that the new master page should be added to my existing masters.

However, in 2000, even if I just select a couple of pages, the new template overwrites all my slides including the existing master slides. Is this a limitation of PowerPoint 2000? Is the only solution to upgrade to 2003 or is it possible to support multiple master pages in 2000?

Thanks in advance,

Richard Baker

http://www.echosvoice.com/multipletemplates.htm has some workarounds.

True multiple masters is a feature introduced in PPT 2002 (aka PPT XP).
