Update slide titles after applying new PPT template
After I apply a new template to my existing PPT, the slides look great except the title doesn't update to reflect the new template title color/location. The slide title text stays in its original location and the new title placeholder field is just blank.
Is there a way to get the title to conform with the new template...other than the time consuming task of copying/pasting the title text into the new title placeholder field on EVERY slide. |

Are you sure that the title is actually in a Title PLACEHOLDER in the original?
A quick (not certain) check is to look in the selection pane for the name of a selected title. If the name is 'Textbox x' it probably isn't a real title. OR go to View > Outline can you see the Title Text in the left pane? |

Thanks for you reply.
Yes. The slide title in the original ppt is showing as Title 1 in the selection pane and the title placeholder of the new template is also showing as Title 1 (and the title option is selected in its slide master). And after I apply the new template, there are now 2 Title 1 fields showing in the selection pane (the blank placeholder one from the template and the title text from the original ppt). |

In the original if you choose View > Outline can you see the text in the "Title" in the left pane. If not it isn't a placeholder.
