What is the connection between a master slide shape and corresponding
shape in normal slide.(eg:- The name of the two shapes will be same or
something like that.) or in other words how can we identify whether the
shape has parent in master slide.


Thanks in advance,
John.
 
It won't have the same name because if won't be highlightable/editable on the
corresponding slide. You'll know something is on the master when you can't
click on it in normal/presentation view. You'll have to go to the master to
be able to highligh it...

Shapes on the master slide aren't ON normal slides. That is, you see them but
they're not selectable and aren't part of the slide's shapes collection. So if
you can select the shape (manually) or access it programmatically via the
slide's shapes collection, it's not part of the master.

The only exception to this is placeholders, which appear on the slide and are,
in effect, clones of placeholders on the slide's master.

In this case, if the shape is a placeholder (a .Type 14 if you're programming),
then it IS also on the master. All placeholders derive from the master.
