Insert slide results in black text box in title bar

[Guest]

How do I change the background to transparent with black text when I use
Insert>New Slide?

 

[Guest]

Make sure that you have the desired formats set up in your slide master: View

Master > Slide Master. Then when you Insert > New Slide it will come up the

same each time.

If Sandys post solves the problem but it comes back when you open powerpoint
again.

Adjust the master - save as(type) design template and name it Blank

Aha! It turned out that the text box was under all of the other layers. I
discovered this when I tried to format it. It is working correctly now.
Thanks

oops, now I have lost the Click to add title text. It still shows in the
master slide. Ideas?

 

[Guest]

In master view can you see the master toolbar(6 icons and "close master
view") Click the righthand icon and check that title placeholder is tcked

 

[Guest]

All of the checkboxes in the Master Layout dialog box inlcuding the title
placeholder are checked and inactive.

 

[Guest]

Go to View > Slide Layout. Reapply the layout you're looking for - it should
come back...

 

[Guest]

That didn't work. I've check the font color on the master slide and it is
black there. We are getting closer to a solution. At least the text box is
available and no longer black. Now the only issue is "Click here to edit
title"

Try creating a new master slide...

 

[Guest]

Sheesh! got it. I created a new master slide and it works. Then I went back
to see what the deal was with the other master slide. The text box was too
small........

End of torture. Thank you all
