Applying Slidemaster-TitleMaster with VBA

[CG]

I have multiple presentation that I want to only partially apply a
master, I am pretty sure that is not possible. I am wanting to keep
the textbox placeholder's location, size, font, and font size the same
in the new presentation as the old presentation. A new background and
adding some other text boxes to the masters are the main reason for
the new title-slide master change. The original files are not all
using the same masters.

I have yet to try it but I am considering coping the slides to a new
presentation with the new masters then applying the required
properties to the same text boxes in the new presentation. I suspect
issues locating the corresponding text box on the new slide, will the
new slide have different names? I am assuming I may have multiple
boxes with the same contents, maybe that is not very probable? Will
this take a long time?

I tried selecting all the placeholders and copying them slide by slide
however they were reformatted.

I don't know how to do this using VBA. But I would open a copy of the
presentation to be changed, change to master view, delete the background and
insert the new background. If you have more than one master, change the
other masters accordingly. This will leave the text untouched.
