PowerPoint Macros w/ Multiple Masters

[Jan]

When running a recorded macro that views the slide
masters, and selects one of three title masters, then
deletes an object, the debugger stops the macro with the
message saying that the title master does not exist. The
line of code that is highlighted is:
ActiveWindow.ViewType = ppViewTitleMaster

Is it possible to reference a title master in a macro when
more than one exists in the presentation?

Jan,
You need to check if that particular design has a title master or not before
you switch to a title master view.

What's the goal? Do you need to delete a shape on a specific title master?
This would be in PPT 2002 or greater, right?

' This will delete the shape named "DeleteMe" on the title master
' of the third design
With ActivePresentation
.Designs(3).TitleMaster.Shapes("DeleteMe").Delete
End with
