I've got a master in my document which applies to all the slides. I'd like to
insert a couple of slides with no master. These are graphics, and I don't
want to clutter up the slide with the design on the master.

How can I suppress the master on a slide, or use a blank master?

I'm using PowerPoint 2003.

Thanks.

Eric,

Unless you've changed the Default Master, I would just go to Format > Slide
Design, and slect the Default Design.pot from the list of Available For Use
designs and apply to only the slides you want your graphics on. Then, Format
> Slide Layout and chose Blank for each as well.

Cheers

2 ways you can try out.
The first one is to click Format > Background.
Then, click on omit content in master located at the bottom.

The second way is to use a new master.
Click View > Master > Slide Master.
Click Insert New Slide Master. (Leave it as it is so as to get a new blank
master)
Once done, close the master view.
Go to the slide you want, open the slide design panel and select the blank
master.
