Image placeholder in title master

Guest

I saw this reply on another matter:
It is not possible to create you own custom placeholders on the Slide
Master that are specific to "pictures" (or to create your own "autolayouts"
which would understand such a custom placeholder).

Does this mean that it is not possible to create a placeholder on the title master wich can handle pictures or is there a possibility to doit by standard functionality or get someone to program it into the title master?

You cannot create place holders of any type.

Hello,

PowerPoint does not have the capability of creating/adding custom
placeholders (or ANY kind) to the slide master and/or creating/adding
customer slide layouts which would take advantage of such custom
placeholders. With multiple master feature in PowerPoint 2002 and 2003 you
can create a variety of almost identical slide masters with different
behaviors (animations) and placement of title and object areas for
AutoLayouts so that when used in conjunction with the existing autolayouts
you can get some additional flexibility but you are still limited to the
number and type of placeholders on in the masters to those that are listed
in the "Master Layout" dialog. When that is still insufficient you can also
create slides that are laid out and formatted the way you want and then you
can use the Duplicate Slide command (or just copy/paste) to make a new copy
of the slide each time you need to create a slide that uses the same
layout/formatting.

Of course, if you (or anyone else reading this message) feel strongly that
some kind feature for creating custom placeholders and/or slide layouts
should be a built-in feature in PowerPoint, don't forget to send your
feedback (in YOUR OWN WORDS, please) to Microsoft at:

As with all product suggestions, it's important that you not just state
your wish but also WHY it is important to you that your product suggestion
be implemented by Microsoft. Microsoft receives thousands of product
suggestions every day and we read each one but, in any given product
development cycle, there are only sufficient resources to address the ones
that are most important to our customers so take the extra time to state
your case as clearly and completely as possible.

IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions).
