You can delete footer area, date/time and slide number without problems. But the fact, that they do not exist any longer is not reflected in the "Header and Footer" dialog of menu Insert. You can use item 'Master Elements' in menu Slide to insert footer, date/time or number at individual slides, although they are not available in the associated master. There is a large mess around these elements. There had already been discussions about them some time ago, without result. Footer area, date/time and slide number do not have individual styles, but they are covered by presentation style 'Background objects'. You can currently not delete title or content, because that area is used for setting their text format. Direct formatting of the text is transferred to the according style. Each of them has a associated presentation style. Changing the style when not in master slide mode, changes the currently used master slide. There exists no area for subtitle, <a class="bz_bug_link bz_status_NEW " title="NEW - UI: placeholder for Subtitle not available in master slide; thus confusing editing styles there" href="show_bug.cgi?id=102318">bug 102318</a>. The relevant parts of ODF are: presentation:class, presentation:placeholder and presentation:footer-decl, presentation:header-decl, presentation:date/time-decl. @Thorsten: A hierarchical tree of master pages is currently not possible in ODF, because the needed attribute style:parent-style-name does not exist for master pages. There exist a similar request for Writer, <a class="bz_bug_link bz_status_NEW " title="NEW - Page styles should support hierarchical parent-child relationships (like paragraph or character styles)" href="show_bug.cgi?id=41316">bug 41316</a> and duplicates. But it would be possible to use a style:default-style element and make it accessible to the user. "new from example" would be immediately possible without having a true link to a parent. >From point of users, the whole area of "master slide" is confusing. I think, that a general new concept is needed. Is there already a META bug about master pages/slides? We need a proposal from design team and a general discussion outside of individual bugs.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
