I've noticed that if I edit a slide master in PowerPoint, I can insert a special kind of text box called a "placeholder". With placeholders, I can easily create nice looking multi-level bulleted outlines. What's bothering me is that I don't seem to be able to insert placeholders on regular slides (when I'm not in master editing mode). Is there any way to do this or do I need to always create a special master slide any time I want the functionality of a placeholder?
Mepher, thanks for your answer, but it really doesn't answer my question. For my particular situation, I would have to create a bunch of masters because all my slides have a different layout. I want to insert a placeholder directly on a slide without using a master. Or I want a regular text box that formats the bullets just like a placeholder. – devuxer – 2010-09-24T08:57:11.213
