Trouble with disappearing master elements in Impress

users
#1

Hi all,

We use a template for our presentations in Impress. Recently I had someone
create a new presentation from that template, but when I received the file back
from him I noticed that on most slides (all except the first and last) the
footer from the slide master was gone in the actual slides (it is still there
though in the master itself). I tried to re-apply the master to those slides,
but that did not help.

As I noticed that for some slides the layout was changed too I also tried re-
applying the layout, hoping that would somehow help. Sadly, it didn't.

Anyone had this problem before?

If this is a bug, does anyone know of a workaround?

As an easy way out I tried to copy the slides from the "corrupt" version to a
new file, but the copied slides in the new file still show the same problem.
Does anyone know of a way to paste slides without pasting the master and
layout parts? Say a "paste text and images only, but not look and feel"
option?

Regards,

HdV

Hi :slight_smile:
Do people know how to use templates that you send them? Perhaps it's
a case of user-error on the part of the chap(ess) who sent you the
file?

Sorry, i'm sure someone else probably has a better answer but i
thought it best to "chip in" with this idea before going any
complicated route!
