And hitting the "undo" button doesn't fix this. Resetting the slide background is also greyed out (not sure why) and the slides in question were templates. Is there any way I can get those slides back to how I had them? I kind of can't believe that the default feature is to assume that the user wants to make mssive changes to the entire project on a grand scale without looking at how it effects all those other slides. Is there something I'm missing here?
Sorry to hear about the issue you've run into - and I'd expect the undo would have taken that change away at least. Perhaps you selected to apply it to all slides? Did you confirm that you're following the steps here?
Import a slide from your most recent backup. It will bring all the masters with it. Apply the appropriate layouts to the current slides, delete the corrupted master and imported slide.
Thanks Fraser for the update and glad you were able to figure out what caused it. There isn't a way to change the default behavior, but good to know that'll be how it behaves going forward.

Hi Ashley,
The problem was I did not right click to select "this slide only". I didn't expect the default to be affecting all slides.
