Title Slide: Additional AutoLayouts?

[Michael Byrnes]

On the PPT title master the two autolayout boxes: Title and Subtitle
displays "Click to add title..." etc on new presentations.

Is it possible to add additional autolayout boxes, such as Client, which
then displays: "Click to add Client"...?

I have a workaround which is to create a text box on the title master which
reads: CLIENT NAME... andwhen I start a new client I simply edit the title
master page...

I would just like to 'streamline' the process due to my "A personality"
flaw...

Thanks,

Michael

Michael,
This is not an option in PPT, PPT does not support adding
editable elements to slide master. But you can apply a little VBA to add a
textbox :
View - Toolbars - Controls Toolbox then look for a button with ab| on it.
Click on it and draw a textbox on your slide (not the master).
Double click your textbox. In the Visual Basic Editor window with your
cursor between Private Sub and end sub.
Click on the pulldown arrow box that is called Change. Clcik on GotFocus.
With your cursor between a second subroutine Private Sub and end sub add the
line
TextBox1.Text = ""
Return to your presentation. Richt click on your textbox and choose
Properties, next to the item text type the text you want to appear e.g.
Click to add Client. Now whenever you click your textbox during the
presentation you will be able to type your text.
I do not know if this is a good solution for you, if not someone else will
jump in.
