MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / January 2007Shape Names from (Title)Master disappear
Hello, i am using a pot which is in the old format (so not potx). This is because this pot needs to be backward compatible with older office versions (xp/2003/2000). Now i am using a script which adds slides to a new presentation (using the pot as template). The pot has a titlemaster with 2 shapes named txtTitel1 and txtTitel2. When i add a title slide in an older office version, the new title slide contains the 2 shapes with the same name as in the title master. When i do the same in powerpoint 2007, the names of the shapes are lost. Their new names are Title 1 and Subtitle 2. Is this a bug or did powerpoint 2007 lost some of his functions here? If so, is there a new way to identify shapes?

Odd. I'm not seeing that here (PPT 2003). We'd better sort that out first before moving on to 2007. I created a new presentation, went to Master view, added a title master and renamed the two text shapes "Title" and "Subtitle". Switched back to normal view, added a new slide, applied the title layout and checked the text box names; both were "Rectangle x" where x was a different number for each. If I add a rectangle or whatever to the master, it appears on the slide but isn't ON the slide, so it's not selectable. It's whatever it is on the master, so in that sense, the name on the SLIDE can't change. So. What are we doing differently? Let's sort that out ... > When i do the same in powerpoint 2007, the names of the shapes are > lost. Their new names are Title 1 and Subtitle 2.
