Mac Forum / Applications / PowerPoint / April 2005

Has anyone else seen this problem with slide backgrounds?

We¹re running Powerpoint 2004 (ver 11.1.1) on a G4 iMac (OS X.3.8). In
previous versions of PPT, you¹ve been able to select ³Keep design when
copying slides between presentations,² and slides with a different
background than your master slide would keep their background when copied
into your document. Now, even with that checked (in Preferences\Advanced),
copied slides still take on the background of the master.

Any ideas on what we might be doing wrong? I¹ve been able to do it correctly
on a PC here running Office 2003, so I don¹t think it¹s a problem with the
documents themselves. It worked correctly before the upgrade from Office X
to 2004.

Any suggestions are appreciated. Thank you!
