Can I change a master slide to a normal slide?

[Guest]

A staff member created all but 3 of her slides in the master slide view. When
she played the show, she only had 3 slides. How can she convert all of those
slides she created in the master view and place them in the normal view.
Tried cut and paste and does not work.

Have her open the master, so that she can see all her slides, then do a Save As,
and select PowerPoint presentation (.ppt) Close the master, then open the saved
presentation

?? That didn't work here.

I can't think of anything off the top of my head.

Tried dragging and dropping from the slide masters to Normal view in a new
presentation, but that didn't work. Bummer.

Wonder if this could be corrected via a VBA routine. How's your coding?

I tried it a couple of time using 2002, worked ok for me. the only thing I
received was a message saying that it might not be compatible with blah, blah,
and would I like to save it as a 2002-97-95 presentation. I said no and it save
it as 2002 presentation.

Hm. I noticed that when I saved the new presentation where I'd copied the
master files, it saved in slide master view. I thought maybe that was the
problem -- that it just looks like it worked.

Maybe it's a version thing, though. I'm using 2003 here.

Could be. Would be nice to get hold of the presentation to have a look.
