Hi John,
Thanks for your help so far.

Are you sure the text is in a placeholder?

Honestly I'm not sure any more. They appear to act like placeholders when compared to a regular text box as they allow dynamic text input when I create a new slide, rather than the static text of a regular text box.
When I select the text box on the Slide Master view however, both the "Drawing Tools" tab and the "Picture Tools" tab become available on the ribbon bar whereas when I manually add a placeholder of a similar style, I only get the "Drawing Tools" tab so I am doubtful if this really is a placeholder.
Placeholder or not, I would still expect the formatting of an object in a presentation slide to match that in the Slide Master view.
Adding an actual placeholder to the layout
does give me the correct formatting when I create a presentation slide but I'd rather avoid having to update all the layout slides replacing text boxes with place holders if possible.
I've attached an example slide and some images (pelase excuse the large image size - I don't want to downscale incase it loses clarity).
