Yeah, sadly, it's been a while. It seems like not being able to have a menu button on a slide master work with slide layers would have a significant impact on developers.

If anyone else has a work-around other than a shape in the background of all slide layers, I'd appreciate hearing about it.

Thanks, Leslie.

    Hi Carrie

    This was also frustrating last night until I found this way.

    Here is the way that I used and hope this can help you too.

    1. Create a new layer, for example: tab_0
    2. Cut and paste all the contents of your base layer to tab_0. Leave the base layer blank so you don't need this to appear in the next layers right?
    3. Add trigger to base layer: "show layer tab_0 when the timeline starts on this slide"
    4. let's try the preview.

    thanks.
