The slide layouts that get imported with the pasted slide have no source to tell them how to display content. When you paste slides so they use that blank slide master, formatting goes haywire. They are the source for font and paragraph formatting in layout placeholders, as well as the default placeholder positioning. Ouch! The placeholders on the slide master are parents to the child placeholders on the layouts. The next time the user adds a new slide and tries to find a layout in that slide master, they get a psychedelic soup of designs.īut wait! It gets worse! For some bizarre reason, designers have a bad habit of deleting all the placeholders on the slide master, then building the design in the layouts. Not only do they not update, they’ve ruined the new deck with added old layouts. If the pasted slides are from legacy presentations, where the intention was to update them to the new look, you get a total fail.
