Removing item from focus order in master slide

Jun 07, 2021

I am trying to remove items from the focus order in my slide master. I was able to remove some items, but the item "Slide Master - Line" is listed in the focus order but not on the slide master. I have attached two screen shots. I am sure that I am missing something.

Hello Stacey,

In addition to Carolyn's suggestion, you can start by looking at which layout the slide is using. In Apply Layout in the Home tab, you’ll see the layout is highlighted in the dropdown.

apply layout

Take a look at the slide and timeline in the Slide Master and deleting the line there. If you don’t see the line, feel free to attach your file, and I’ll take a look!

Also, I wanted to welcome you to E-Learning Heroes! 😊
