Hmm. I renamed the slide master, saved the file, closed it, and reopened it.
The old name is still there. Further, I went into my templates folder and
deleted the old template file with the name that still appears, as well as
renaming the .pot file that is the currently applied design.
Is there another place I should be looking/changing?

You didn't mention the version which may help. I would double check that you
have really renamed the slide master. What name is in the rename box when you
right click etc?

Actually, I did mention I was using PP2003. But, when I repeated the steps
you describe again, low and behold, it changed. I think this was a case of
PEBKAC. ;)
thanks John for helping me get this resolved.
