Hello everyone, I'm having an issue and I hope someone can help. It would be greatly appreciated for the project I'm working on.



I am trying to create a master layout slide that looks like this.



However, if I create a new Master layout slide that looks like above slide from the Master slides and select it in normal layout, it looks like this. (I copied this from a different pp file and pasted it into the master layout slide as well as created it from scratch.)



I've tried change the Master layout page to match the 1st one but it isn't working. Any suggestions or questions?

Hard to tell from an image but that top layout looks wrong. The non title "Placeholder" doesn't look like a placeholder at all. It should have a dotted outline and central icons.

I would try to post a one slide presentation on OneDrive, Dropbox whatever.

Hi John, thanks for the reply.

Here is a better image. This is my Master Layout Page. When I try to add it in the Normal layout it looks like the second image.

That certainly looks more like a layout but you need to post a real presentation. What you describe works just fine for me (2016 but I don't think 2013 is different)

I can't work out what you did but I remade the layout from scratch and it seems to work.
