Anyone have a nice way of doing the above?

I need to add tags to the master-, and/or titleslides in a multiple
master presentation.

I can probably do a funky workaround by assigning one of the
slidemasters to a normal slide, and do something like this:
ActivePresentation.Slides(currentslide).Design.SlideMaster.Background.Tags.Add
"tagName", "Value"

But I'd much rather just go to masterview, select the master and access
the master directly.

Suggestions, anyone?

Best regards and thanks in advance

Martin

Maybe I dont understand what you want but you can right click masters in
master view and use rename to give each a relevant name which will show when
you hover over the template in the design pane.

Did that answer the question / help?

With ActiveWindow.View.Slide
Debug.Print .Design.Name
With ActivePresentation.Designs(.Design.Name)
With .Shapes("Someshape").Tags.Add "etc", "etc"
End with
End With

I don't believe you can add tags to a master, but you can tag shapes on the
master.

Masters cannot be tagged but you can rename the design or the individual
slide/title master of that design, which should help somewhat.

Thank you both!

I'll try that first thing Monday morning.
You're both right about it not being possible to tag the masters
themselves, but I can tag the 'Background' element, and that's good
enough.

Best regards
Martin
