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?
