Slide Master Areas

Hello MVP's,

On the Slide Master I know I have two basic (Non-Footer) areas in which i
can set various defaults.

My template is designed, by an over-zealous creative department, with a blue
border at the bottom on which I want to allow only white text, Autoshape
lines etc.

I have already used the Title Area & the Object area elsewhere to define
styles on the slide.

Is there any way to create more tham one Object area for Layouts, and assign
different values to each of them that will both be enforced when leaving
master view?

Copy and paste just makes the new object static. I could cheat and Overlay
the Footer Range, and set its attributes accordingly, but that doesn't allow
enough flexibillity, and is too complex for users to create their own ad hoc
presentations within corporate design guidelines.

Also, I have set Animation presets, but the 2nd, 3rd level animations all
follow under the top level. i.e. all the entrances occur before any of the
exit/emphasis animations take place.
Is this immutable?
I want to make a default where you open top level 1, and fade it on click,
before level 2 appears after previous etc, but I can't drag the items as
normal in an animation scheme.

Thankyou as ever for any help, or even confirmation of my suspicions that
these things are not possible.

Regards,

KeLee
 
Thanks very much for the help, I tried to rate the response but have no
option to.

One thought.
Would it be acceptable to have slide(s) with sample text (" eg replace with
your level 1 text") that could be selected and changed? You could then
duplicate the "blank" slide. Obviously this slide could have the animations
you want
--

Did that answer the question / help?

That is an excellent idea,
And I can write a quick macro to check that no objects in the presentation
contain the "Replace this..." etc to ensure that they haven't left any
residual sample text anywhere.

Thanks very much for your help,
