MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / September 2007PP2007: VBA Property TitleMaster
In PP2007 there is no longer a title master available. But still the vba property TitleMaster in the Presentation object exists. Which of the custom layout object is returned by this property? Are there any rules? Can I define what custom layout should be represented by the TitleMaster property? Thanks > In PP2007 there is no longer a title master available.

Can I define what custom layout should be represented > by the TitleMaster property? Seems to be the Title Slide layout. A little bit of code can demonstrate: Sub WhereDoIAppear() With ActivePresentation.TitleMaster With .Shapes.AddTextbox(msoTextOrientationHorizontal, 0, 0, 200, 100) .TextFrame.TextRange.Text = "Well, here we are. What now?" End With End With End Sub ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ Steve, thanks for your reply. I was more wondering I there's a way to define another existing custom layout as title slide layout? Right now it looks to me that you have to create a new 2007 presentation to get such a title slide layout. Once this custom layout is deleted (or even if just the subtitle placeholder on it is deleted) your presentation has no title slide layout anymore. >> In PP2007 there is no longer a title master available.

PP2007 has no title master anymore (but custom layouts). Still in VBA the "TitleMaster" property exists (as well as "HasTitleMaster"). If you call it in a default 2007 presentation the custom layout that MS created for title slides is returned (which is very reasonable). If you delete that custom layout manually and call the "HasTitleMaster" property the returned value is False (the same if you just delete the subtitle placeholder on this custom layout). Now, if I have such a presentation and would like to make another of the existing custom layouts act as title master (still talking about the VBA) what can I do? Of course I could copy/paste a custom title layout from a newly created presentation into mine and adjust its appearance. But I thought there might be an easier solution. >> Steve, thanks for your reply. I was more wondering I there's a way to >> define another existing custom layout as title slide layout?

Renaming a new or existing layout "Title Slide" doesn't seem to help, even if you move it to the same position as the original Title Slide layout. > Steve, I'm talking from a VBA point of view.
