Slide Master

Oct 27, 2020

Hi all,

Does anyone know how to delete slidemaster slides when the delete option is greyed out? I have inherited a template which has numerous slides in the master which aren't used or 'preserved' but I am unable to delete them.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Charlie,

The reason why the Delete option is greyed out is because that particular layout is being used by at least one of your slides. If you hover over the individual layout slide it should tell you how many slides are using it. If any of the layout slides within a particular Master set are being used, not only will those slides be prevented from being deleted, but the Master slide itself will also have the Delete option greyed out.

If the layouts are definitely not in use, as you suggest, the Delete option should not be greyed out.
