How do I break a slide-master title pair?

Alternately, how do I replace the slide master in a slide-master title pair?

You cannot break the slide master - title master pair. And you cannot
replace the slide master as a whole. But what you can do is delete all
objects in a slide master and copy all objects of the other slide master
into it. You might have to adjust the title master afterwards.

Thanks for the reply.

I believe I tried what you suggested, but the "layout" from the second
slide-master did not carry over to the first slide-master.
 
I'm wondering where you are trying to get? Do you want the title slides to
have one master and others to follow a different slide master?
 
I am going to bump this post even tho it's so old, because I am experiencing
what I think is the same issue and I'm tired of continuing to read and
getting nowhere; I've been in these newsgroups for a couple of hours now
trying to figure this out!

I have a template design where there is a Title and Slide Master pair, in
'Master Mode,' that cannot be disconnected, and then in design mode, a third
slide (I refer to as "content," for lack of a better/proper term). The third
slide does not appear when I view Master mode, but the Slide and Title Master
pair do.

I am unable to remove objects from the slide master and copy the "content"
objects into it, nor can I alter the background. I've found a quick & dirty
workaround to insert new content slides by, while in design mode, clicking a
"content" slide and then clicking "Insert" and "Duplicate Slide" on the menu
bar. But, I want to be able to tell people how to do it properly, to
"Insert" a "New Slide."

Any ideas? I am using PowerPoint 2003.
 
Also, In case it matters, I failed to mention that in design mode, you don't
see any slide masters until you click "Insert" and "New Slide"

So...

Master Mode: shows Title and Slide master pair (no "content")
Design Mode: shows Title and "content" slide (no slide master)
