Master Slide Body

Is there any way of placing two body boxes in a master slide?

I'm not sure this is the solution. By making a second text box (assuming the first one present it because the "body" item is checked in the Master Slide inspector), you're not making a duplicate "body" style text box with the same attributes (font, size, bullet style, etc.). Yes, you can customize the second, added text box to look like the "body" text box, declare it as a text placeholder as you mention, and return to the regular slide. Now you have the dummy text in the second text box ALWAYS present while the first, "body" text box has the "click to change" text and would be hidden if the slide where placed in slideshow mode with no user text added. At the same time, however, the second text box you created in the master would show the default text you entered in the master, that is, it would NOT be hidden in the slideshow. So, if this second (or more) manually added text boxes, declared as text placeholders, are added to the master slide, be sure you truly use them in your original slides based on that master or your dummy text will appear in your slideshow.
Wow, long comment...but I too am trying to learn why I can't add many "body" style text boxes to the master slide. Unfortunately, PowerPoint 2008 for Mac has Keynote beat with its multi-content style layout element. I'd love to leave PP behind and go all Apple, but I can't without this feature equally and easily available in Keynote. Maybe v.5.0.3? Or at the very latest, the version is iWork `10.

  • Powerpoint master slide body text

    i am experiencing issues with the master slide body text which is now showing up in Powerpoint 2011? does anyone has a fix for it?

    Hello and welcome to... perhaps the wrong forum?
    This is the Captivate user forum, are you having a question about Captivate? If yes, perhaps about importing Powerpoint slides into Captivate, try to explain more in detail, show perhaps a screenshot of the issue? And tell which version of CP you are using (Mac? Ver 5)?

  • Keynote Master Slide - body levels

    Does anyone know how to increase the number of body levels (indents) on the keynote master slides? At present it seems to be limited to Body Level 5 - but I would like to create styles for a greater number of indents.
    Thanks in anticipation...

    The limit is 5, but you could set a bunch of tab stops so that all you need to do his hit tab to move over. It should act the same, even though can't see more than 5 on the master slides.

  • Keynote 6.5 Loses Ability to Copy and Paste Master Objects (Titles, Body) From One Master Slide to Another

    This is just a major pain point that I hope is fixed as soon as possible.
    In all Keynote 6 versions of the past (and 5), you were able to do the following:
    1) Copy a Title or Body object (with proper formatting) from one Master Slide to another.
    1a) The slide you would paste it into would have had to have been deleted/unchecked.
    2) The pasted Title and Body objects would then assume the role of the Master's Title and Body Boxes
    Now:
    Instead of assuming the role of the Master Slides Title and Body Boxes, they are simply text box objects. If you were to check "Title" or "Body", the old objects (with probably improper formatting) would still be that slide.

    Below is the EtreCheck report. If Needed I am willing to make a screencast of the problem.

  • Master slide and table default - Very confusing behavior

    This odd behavior cost me the last two hours, so I just wanted to check with you folks if you know a work-around.
    Been fiddeling with a new Theme I am building and I was just about to define the default look for a table. Generated a table in the master slides window, applied all formatting I want and I was just about to apply it as the default for this theme (or even this master slide) and POOF - as soon as Keynote finished the
    Format>Advanced>Define Image for Current Master
    the table reverted back to the look of a previous version. No matter how often I truied to re-create the intended look, it always came back in this half-baked form.
    Very irritating, this behavior and I am sure that there is a fix. Anybody any ideas?
    Best Regards,
    /Dirk

    Ok, so I built a new master theme - same effect. The background colors and text formatting for the body of the table would not hold.
    Then I placed a placeholder object into the master slide for the table, did all my formatting, applied it and voila - it carried over.
    Seems that the palceholder did the trick for me.
    Thanks for your support, brian

  • Master Slide default

    I have always been curious which master slide is chosen when I insert a new slide within a slide show. The slide within your show that you have highlighted determines which Master Slide has a check mark beside it, but that is not always the one which is chosen as the new one.
    Am I missing something?

  • Master & slide title or object linking?

    greetings,
    i've been using keynote for a few years. i'm using keynote version 5.0.4, which is the current version. i compiled a presentation recently by copying slides from older presentations. i've made a newer master and have reassigned the master slide for the slide to be the same. however, the titles on the slides are not getting relinked to the master slide title. so changes to the master title style are not being reflected in the individual slides for most slides.
    i've played with the "inspector" -> slide -> appearance to see if i can for the title to relink to the master, without success. so far the only way i've found to get the slide titles to connect to the new master is to insert a new slide and copy the slide body and presenters notes to the new slide. then i select the text in the old slide title and "paste & match style" in the new slide.
    but my presentation is around 140 slides. and i don't want to have to do this to all of them to be able to globally control the style of the slide title.
    i've searched some of the posts and haven't seen this addressed before. does anyone have any suggestions about how to relink the slide titles if they are no longer linked?
    thanks for any suggestions.

    ahh! i found it...
    1- select the object, in this case the title
    2- right click
    3- pop-up menu shows "reapply slide master to selection"
    i spent about an hour yesterday fooling around this this, trying different things, and did't figure it out...
    so in case someone else needs it, here it is...

  • Multiple place holders in master slide

    Hello all,
    I would like to create a master slide with more than one place holder. Is that possible and how can I do it.
    Thank you all for the time you spend giving others your insight and knowledge.
    Mireille

    You probably want to make sure of your terminology.
    Here's my definitions of things in Keynote:
    Place Holder: That usually invisible "placeholder" shape Apple added in Keynote 2 that's mostly useless, doesn't mask shapes, and forces charts to conform to where it is, even if it's turned off. You can find it in the Inspector along with the Title, Body and pag number items for each slide
    Photo Cutout: These are the holes in photo slides. They're made by sticking an image with holes punched in it on the back of the slide. They're not the "background" of the slide in that they're sitting ON the slide.
    Photo Masks: This is done by using a shape and a photo, and using the Mask to Shape function to hide parts of the photo that stick outside the shape.
    If you're going for the actual Placeholder, then NO, you can't do two to a slide. If you're looking to make a photo cutout with two holes, that's easily done in Photoshop or some other photo editor that supports transparency. I usually save the image out as a PNG with transparency. You can also FAKE this using the Mask to shape option, especially if the photo cutout on the theme you're using doesn't have some fancy dressing around it.
    Hope that helps!

  • Rotate Text Boxes on Master Slides

    It would be great if the next release of Keynote had the option to Rotate Text Boxes on Master Slides.

    You can rotate regular boxes, just not title and body...but yeah, it sure would be nice. Theme makers could create title boxes that aren't straight
    On a side note, it would also be cool to connect text boxes so that one is a copy of another. Imagine a master slide that when a title is added to it, another copy of the title is also added behind it, enlarged and faded out. iDVD does this kind of thing now, but Keynote doesn't
    By the way, putting feature requests on here won't get them heard by Apple. You need to use the feedback item in the Keynote menu inside Keynote to suggest features. That form goes right to the team that programs Keynote.

  • Unable to Paste Objects from Slides into Master Slides

    I'm wondering if I'm missing a step or if anyone else has this problem:
    I'm adding a new master slide to a theme and trying to customize it by copying objects and text boxes I've made on a regular slide onto a master slide. I can copy and paste on the regular slide, but the master slide will not accept any pasted objects, even though they were made in Keynote.
    I can't find any way to unlock a whole slide, or other clue to making the new master slide accept the pasted objects.
    Thanks for any help or suggestions.

    Figured it out...
    1. Open the "problematic" document.
    2. Go to slide with the elements you want to copy (not your master slide)
    3. Open your Inspector box > Slide tab > Appearance tab.
    4. Uncheck ALL components - Title, Body, Slide Number, Object Placeholder.
    5. Go back to the slide and "select all" (or individual elements), and select Edit > Copy.
    6. Go to your Master Slide and paste (done)
    Don't ask me why the software behaves like this, step 4 is the kicker! It doesn't make sense to me, but I'm sure someone with greater knowledge of the app can answer that question.

  • Insert filename in master slide

    Can somebody tell me how I can insert the filename into the master slide (like you can insert filename in Numberq and Pages) so that when I change my filename it automatically changes also in the master slide ? Many thanks for your help.

    This feature is not available "in thebox"
    You may go to my iDisk:
    <http://idisk.me.com/koenigyvan-Public?view=web>
    and download:
    foriWork:for_Pages:paste_thepath.zip
    It contain two scripts.
    One which pastes the pathname at the Insertion point.
    One which insert the pathname at the end of the document.
    I apologize but at this time I don't know the way to insert at the insertion point

  • How do I add a hover state to a smart shape button on the master slide? CP7

    I want to use a button with a hover state on my master slide in CP7. I created a smart shape and checked the box 'use as button.' I then created 3 image files with the "x_up, x_down, x_over' extensions. When I select my smart shape and choose a custom pattern from the fill menu and select my 'x_up' image file, the smart shape does not recognize the hover state. Is there another way to achieve this?
    Thanks!

    Thanks I think I get it now after reading your post. Shape buttons can only shrink when they are pressed and nothing else. I was thinking a work round for me would be to use a regular button with the up, over, down state, put this regular button on the first slide and set the timing for 'display for rest of project.' However I don't see this option in the timing panel:
    Is this option somewhere else?
    Thx!

  • How do I set up a master slide in Keynote that provides placeholders for multiple images?

    I came across an article in Mac|Life (Oct 2012 p90) titled "Create a Stylish Slideshow".  The steps include creating a master slide that allows for you to add multiple photos.  My master slide list for all themes allows for only one photo per slide.  What am I missing and how can I set up a slide to which I can add multiple photos as they do in this article?  Yes, I am using Keynote '09 v5.3.

    Thanks for the info.  Following the instructions which are covered in chap 12 of the User Manual, I found that I cannot use shapes as placeholders.  The only success I experienced was if I used an actual photo image.  With photos I could select  Define as Media Placeholder, with Shapes, the only option was to Define as Text Placeholder.  I will address this with a thorough review of chapter 12.  
    My initial problem was that I assumed that all themes in Keynote possessed the same set of Master slides.  When I found this not to be the case I looked at each theme and identified 12 of the 44 provided different master slide options which provided placeholders for more than 1 photo (a few provided up to 6).  For helpful information for others, here is a listing of those themes that provide master slides for more than 1 photo:  Editorial, Kyoto, Brushed Canvas, Typeset, Craft, Stock Book, Blue Print, Vellum, Modern Portfolio, White Corners, Storyboard, Formal. 
    Thanks again.  Your feedback got me on the right track to resolving my problem.

  • Master Slides - Need alternate solution.

    I am an Apple Keynote/Aperture user who desires to create multi-image slides using a grid in which individual photos are deposited into cells like picture frames - sort of like a school yearbook layout. I have experimented with creating master slides using "Tables" and "Shapes" within Keynote, but find that they have limitations:
    1. Using shapes in Master Slides, it is extremely difficult to get equal-sized borders between images using the "align" and "distribute" functions, particularly so if the cells are different sizes. As you are aware, these functions only operate on a horizontal or vertical basis. Is there a function that would automatically align all the cells on a slide in both dimensions?
    2. With Tables, I cannot zoom or re-orient the image other than "fit" or "fill".
    I would like to have a variety of various "grids" stored and available for use again and again. I am guessing that some software manufacturer makes a variety of template type grids - like the type graphic artists must use - that can be employed within the Apple system. If these do exist it would make my job a lot simpler. So my question is: On what computer user's forum should I raise this question?
    Thanks for your time and I would appreciate any thoughts you might have.

    1. If I click "create a new master slide", Keynote duplicates the nearest master in the list. Is there a way to start out with a blank master?
    No. As you say, creating a new master slide always just duplicates the currently selected master
    2. I dragged some images from Finder into media
    placeholders in a new slide. Later when I came back to Keynote I found the images had been replaced with a grey background, outline "X" and question mark. What happened?
    Keynote doesn't treat images the way it treats audio and video i.e. images are always copied into the presentation, whereas with audio and video you have a choice to simply link to them. You wouldn't see the 'broken' image holders if you, say, dropped some images into a presentation and then moved/deleted the original images in the Finder. Keynote would be using the local copies it made of the images, and would have no dependency on the originals.
    The only way I could duplicate this was to actually view the package contents of the presentation and manually delete the local copies of images that Keynote had stored. When I did that to a presentation and then opened it, I did indeed see the grey boxes with question marks that you describe.
    Can you describe in more detail what you did between placing the images and then "coming back to Keynote" to find that the images had broken. Was it really just a case of closing the file, and then opening it again?
    3. What is the proper way to select a master slide when creating a new slideshow slide?
    I'm not sure exactly what you mean here. Are you talking about the best way to choose which master slide is applied to a new slide that you create in a presentation?
    Similar to creating a new master slide, you don't really have much control over which master is used. Keynote will use the master of whichever slide you have selected when you add the new slide.
    After that you can do one of 3 things to choose which master is applied to the slide:
    1. Choose one from the Masters button on the toolbar
    2. Drag a master from *Master Slide* area in the slide viewer onto the newly created slide in the Slides area
    3. In the Slide tab of the inspector, under Appearance choose a master from the list of thumbnails
