Well I guess thats sort of what I wanted, bu i still have all those extra slides/templates.

I really don't want a master slide which is the only item that ever came up in a search.

I merely want a blank slide with my desired background which the company logo in the corner.

People can add whatever text in whatever format they want.

SO I guess I'm halfway there.

How do I create a slide with my compnay logo on it without all the rest of the master slide preset text boxes etc.

I merely want a blank slide, blank as in NO text boxes, no image place holders a blank slide.
