Multiple Slide Masters - am I doing this right?

[Laura]

I need to create a PP presentation template for 2003.

We have a common theme to all slides in terms of font/bullet formatting.
But, there are about six "sections" to the presentation and each section uses
a different background image. Each "section" starts with a title slide.

I believe I need to create six sets of Slide Masters with Title masters to
accomodate this? And then the way for the end user to use it is to insert
new slides based on the desired layout, and then go to slide design and apply
the master for that section to the selected slide only?

Questions:
1) Is this the most effecient way to do this?
2) Once I create one Slide Master and Title Master in the set, is there a
way to create the others by copying it rather than starting from scratch for
the masters for each section?

TIA for any suggestions -- and please feel free to point me to some reading
material...

Laura

I just saw that I can simply copy the slide masters, or, once I set up one
set, I can go to the design task pane and I fi choose Add Design it inserts a
duplicate set that I can then modify.

So I think I'm good there -- I'd still appreciate any feedback on whether or
not I am taking the correct approach for this presentation template setup.
THANKS.

Laura,
Let's just say you have nailed it. You can copy the slide master using
Insert - Duplicate slide master. And I would advise to pin all the masters
using the Keep slide master button on the master toolbar, so when no slide
uses them they do not disappear.

excellent, thank you!

Ditto what Luc said -- you're exactly on the right track. Well done!

I'm using PPT 2000 and I don't see an option to "Add Design". Is this
accessible from the screen where one edits the SLIDE MASTER? How does one
create and add a second slide master for subsequent use in PPt 2000?

Though you can add a second model (so a second pair of slide masters)

I didn't think you could do that in 2000. My bad
