Hi. I've created 2 slide masters in a quiz. I applied one master to all slides, then I went back into one question to apply the 2nd master just to that silde but it keeps applying to all the slides. I am opening the question, selecting design, selecting the slide master from the themes. Then I right click and select "apply to just this slide." Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong?
I think the issue is that you are clicking the master before right clicking the master. Simply right click the master and select Apply Only To This Question.
I take it there is no way to set a sidemaster for multiple slides (but not all). I was hoping to change the master used for a specific question group, but it seems I'm forced to go to each question in the group individually and do as you suggested above.
Right. That's due to the fact that slide view is question specific so the options are to apply to the question or to all questions. You may want to submit a feature request for that.
What I did was create all my questions, then I created several masters. I went and applied one master to all questions (the one I was using the most) and then went back to the individual questions where I wanted different masters and just used "apply to this slide."
Thanks Jan, but I want to be able to choose a set of slides (more than one but not all) and apply the master to that set. This would be similar to the way you would do the same thing in PowerPoint. I actually have 5 question groups and each has a different master as a background. It's annoying to have to go through 20+ questions one by one just to change the master slide used. I'll submit an enhancement request as Justin suggested.
