Make individual changes to slides, without re-applying slide maste

[Guest]

I created slide masters, with for example a black coloured Title.
I want, just on an individual slide a white coloured title. I made the
changes, but, after closing and opening the document, the colour is black
again.

Help me, I don't know how to deal with this..

You haven't mentioned the version of PowerPoint so you'll get a PowerPoint 2002
or 2003 answer. Create a "duplicate slide master" and change the title font
color to white. Return to View > Normal and apply your new master to the slide.

Thanks, but if i just want one word in an other colour, for example the text
is black, one word in the title should be white. After closing and opening
the document, it returns all black.

Its 2003 version.

thanks.

Again, what version of PPT are you using? There's a bug in the multiple
masters feature of 2002/2003 that can cause this issue.

Sorry, I now see that you're using PPT 2003.

I'm not sure how you'll overcome the color issue, to be honest. The thread
above disscusses text size, but it's probably the same bug. Simply moving
the master to the first in the list of masters might resolve it, I'm not
sure.
