In a critical situation like this...

[Guest]

Hello All,

I have created almost 300 slides using a Master template and there are some
changes and adjustments also.
After completion of all 300 slides, now we need to change the entire layout.
The main critics on this is Font Size. As we are increasing the font size in
the new Master Template, the entire new layout is looking worst than that of
anything.

Is it any possible way to apply the new layout without making any rework??

I tried all the ways and if one could able to find then it will be really
appreciatable...

Thanks & Regards
Prabhu. K

It depends ....

Parts of the slides that are based on the master can be modified on the
master slide and then have the master formatting re-applied to the slides en
mass. However, items added that are not based on the master will not be
affected by these changes, so will need to be changed on an item-by-item
basis.

In either case, after you modify the text size you will need to review each
of your 300 slides to ensure that things like text box size or sentence
wrapping do not interfere with the esthetics of the slides' appearance. I
do not know of any software does a good job of telling the user what looks
nice.

If you find that you only need to increase the font size by, say, 1 size
increment in all text boxes on all slides, you can write a simple macro that
will do this, then during your review, you can assure the appearance isn't
compromised.

----Sample Code-----
Sub Presbyopia()

Dim oSld As Slide
Dim oShp As Shape

For Each oSld In ActivePresentation.Slides
For Each oShp In oSld.Shapes
If oShp.HasTextFrame = msoTrue Then
oShp.Select (msoTrue)
DoEvents
Application.CommandBars("Formatting") _
.Controls("Increase Font Size").Execute
End If
Next oShp
Next oSld

End Sub
-----End Code-----

:-D

In Spanish is "Presbicia" but the symptoms are the same...

Now I can see "Gibraltar" and Shyam's "StraightenLines" and I think that it
will be *very useful* when ungrouping charts...

;-)

Thanks
