Hello folks,



When importing existing slides (from old branded powerpoints) into the new brand power point slides, the programme wont AUTO FORMAT the slides into the master slides...

Has any one had this problem before? The only thing it changes is the colour of the background and not the actual theme!

So do you mean fonts and text colours don't change or something else.

If font colors in the presentattion being added have had the colour manually altered so they no longer follow the original master they will not update correctly when you reuse them.

We have placeholder images as well in all master slides that do not change...

Any ideas?

Hows your XML coding?

Added images on the master / layouts are usually marked as userDrawn="1" in the XML. The program interprets this as "they realy want to keep this!" Crazy but there you go.

You may need to get into the XMl and either delete it (carefully XML is not forgiving) or safer set it to "0" instead of "1"
