Master slides being evil
By
Ari Avivi
Hello all,
I'm pulling what little hair I have left out trying to figure out what is happening here.
I have a couple of master slide layouts, when I use them the first time they work perfectly, but if I switch from one layout to another it starts changing the size of my answer box to the point where it is off the slide.
I've attached a picture and the source file.

Question masters want to paint in the stem and choices at full-width. This is a pain. I like to layout my questions the same way you've illustrated above with the stem / scene on the left and the choices on the right.
I end up creating a slide for each question type with my layout then copying and pasting the slide rather than applying the layout. Whenever a layout is applied, all kinds of evil stuff happens to my question slides. Using the copy and paste slide method, everything stays cucumber cool.
I normally build a "Master" question slide and then duplicate it rather than rely on Question Masters
Yep, that looks like the path. I just hope I don't have to do too many changes later on.
Often I get a client to approve design like these prior to building it all, making them aware that if significant changes after approval are needed they may have an additional cost
