Help with PPT masters, another auto layout box?

[Guest]

Hi, I am working on a PPT template that has to be 100% easy. In the master
there are 2 boxes for auto layout text - one for slide title and another for
bulleted text. Is there any way to add a 3rd auto layout text box for a
subtitle above the bulleted box?

The reason I ask is because in presentations the first line each slide is
not a bullet. So when a user start typing, bullets do not automatically
appear. The user has to hit return and click on the indent bullet button to
start the bullets for the next paragraph. I need this to be a complete
"Click and Type" solution, so I would like 3 boxes to appear for the user to
click and type and not to have to know to hit any other buttons. I have
tried using the other auto layout boxes for date, etc. but they do not work.

Or if anyone has another suggestion, I welcome any ideas.

You cannot add placeholders to masters. And I can't really think of an easy
way for what you need to happen to happen.

You might want to have a look at ShapeStyles, though.
