Picture Bullets not flowing from Master Slide to custom layout content placeholders
Hi guys,
I have a Master Template with 50 different custom layouts. They have a combination of placeholders throughout. I am using picture bullets where bullets exist but I'm finding that the formatting from the Master Layout (which only allows a text placeholder) is not flowing down to the content placeholders on the custom layouts. Any ideas on how I can get them to flow or to speed the process of adding picture bullets up? |

Usually if the master bullets don't apply to the layouts it means that someone at some time has manually modified the layouts. Sadly there is no simple way to reverse this unless you are ably to modify the XML code to unset the manual bullets or remake all of the layouts. Both are going to be quite a job!
You might be able to automate remaking the layouts with code. Make sure you try this on a copy as it isn't foolproof! Copy the code below and in PPT Alt f11 to get to the code editor. INSERT > Module and paste in the code f5 to run it. If you are lucky it might fix thinks in seconds. Code:
Sub fixPLC() Dim ocl As CustomLayout Dim oshp As Shape Dim sngL As Single Dim sngT As Single Dim sngW As Single Dim sngH As Single Dim P As Long Dim raySize(7) As Long For Each ocl In ActivePresentation.SlideMaster.CustomLayouts For Each oshp In ocl.Shapes If oshp.Type = msoPlaceholder Then If oshp.PlaceholderFormat.Type = 7 Then sngW = oshp.Width sngH = oshp.Height sngT = oshp.Top sngL = oshp.Left For P = 1 To oshp.TextFrame2.TextRange.Paragraphs.Count raySize(P) = oshp.TextFrame2.TextRange.Paragraphs(P).Font.Size Next P oshp.Delete With ocl.Shapes.AddPlaceholder(7) .Width = sngW .Left = sngL .Top = sngT .Height = sngH For P = 1 To .TextFrame2.TextRange.Paragraphs.Count .TextFrame2.TextRange.Paragraphs(P).Font.Size = raySize(P) Next P End With End If End If Next oshp Next ocl End Sub |
