Solved: Adding text to Shape from Master

[Paul_Hossler]

I duplicated a master layout (Title + Content) to create a new layout (Takeaway)

Re-arranged placeholders, and added a shape where I want to add the 'take away message'.

The idea was to be able to insert a new 'Takeaway' slide and then edit the text in the shape.

After the new slide is inserted, the shape is there, but now I can't add text without adding a 'slide level' textbox instead of using the 'master level' shape 'Edit Text'

If there a workaround or other idea??

Follow up --

1 - Better than what I had for sure

2 - Even though the ‘Master’ textbox has text horizontally centered, the New Slide does not, and the textbox can be moved

3 - Good news is that Reset Layout works to re-position and resize slide (but not to center the text)

It looks like the only property NOT honored is Horizontal Alignment

All in all, this is much better that the way I was doing it
