Troubleshooting

Slide Master Link Damage

Q1:I changed the Slide Master, but some of the slides in my presentation haven't been updated with the changes.
A1: If you do something odd (for example, delete one of the placeholders in a slide), it's possible to break the link between a slide and the Slide Master. After the link has been broken, changes to the Slide Master are no longer propagated to the slide. To reset the link, select the slide, bring up the Slide Layout pane by choosing Format, Slide Layout, and apply the layout that's most appropriate for the slide.
