Change default text in placeholder on title slide

[Guest]

Thanks once again Steve Rindsberg for helping on the last question. Now, I
have the placeholder set on my title slide. The default text on the title
slide in the placeholder reads "Click to add subtitle". I would like the text
in the placeholder on my title slide to read "Click to add title". Is there
anyway to do that?

Unfortunately, we can't change the text in the placeholders, nor can we add
placeholders.

Are you referring to the title master?
In title master, there will be both "click to edit master title" and "click
to edit subtitle". If the title master doesn't have the "Click to edit master
title", click Format > Master Layout. See if "Title" has been checked.

That's your Title master, not the Slide master and what you're seeing is the
Subtitle placeholder (which is why it wants so desperately to add Subtitles when
you tickle it).

Choose Format, Master Layout and put a check next to Title to add a title
placeholder. If Title is grayed out, PPT thinks there's already a title
placeholder there. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to hunt it
down and move whatever's hiding it.
