Adding Titles to Existing Slides

I am new to powerpoint, and am using a master slide that someone else
designed for a continuing project.  I need to add a title in a certain spot
on each slide.  I added a text box, which looks fine on the slide, but this
doesn't work for me because I am then putting the presentation into
articulate and I need the start of the articulate presentation to list the
slide titles, not just say "slide 1", etc. So these text boxes must be
designated as titles.
Is there a way to go back into an already created presentation and add
titles or change existing text into a title?
Thanks for any help!

Since you can easily change text in title placeholders, I'm assuming that
your problem is that the slides don't have a title placeholder. In that case,
with the slide master open, choose Format > Master Layout. In the dialog box,
check the Title check box, which should be blank, and click OK.

Your slide master will then have a title placeholder and you can return to
normal view and enter text in the title placeholders.

Ellen-
thanks so much.  unfortunately, the checkboxes are not active when I do
this. does this mean that the master is protected - that I can't change it?
or is there a way around that?
