Bullet points and styles in masters

Hi,

I am creating a template which will be used by everyone in my firm. For this template I have made a master which indicates, when a user adds a new slide, what size and style font the text should etc. The master also indicates that in the first level of text, bullets should not be used, but must be used in the following two lines of text as shown below:

First level
- Second level
- Third level

although I have entered this on the slide master, only the 'first level' bit appears when the master view is closed and I insert a new slide. The bullets we wish to use are customised shapes so it's important they appear on the master and I can't seem to get them there. Is there a way of correcting this?

Many thanks,
Morgan

RE: Bullet points and styles in masters

Hello Morgan

Thank you for your question.

You might have to type some text in place of the default first level, second level, third level, onto the slide master in order for the bullet points for each level to appear when a new slide is inserted.

Otherwise insert an instruction slide as a first slide in the template, which shows the three bulleting levels, then when you save the presentation as a template file, any new files created from it will show the instruction slide as the first slide.

I hope this helps.

Kind regards
Amanda

PowerPoint tip:

Convert a 2003 presentation to 2010

If you have a presentation in 2003 you can work on it with the 2010 enhancements by using the compatibility mode.

Open the 2003 file in Powerpoint, and it will open it compatibility mode.

Click on the File tab then select Info, and Convert. Then save the file using "Save as", type in your new file name, and then click Save.

Your 2003 presentation will now be in 2010 and you'll be able to use all the enhancements available.
