Your explanation will not help with that at all because that is exactly the limitation of placeholders compared with normal objects. I just answered in this thread to the second question: do placeholders have sense? The default themes have a lot of placeholders which I just ignore because they are too restricting.īut the OP asked why she couldn't copy/paste a 'filled in' placeholder object from one normal slide to another. Finding the perfect balance between the number of master slides and the design you wat is mostly a matter of personal preference. There is no need at all to create duplicate master slides to move a placeholder. You can perfectly move, resize, restyle placeholder objects on the master slides without any problem. This thread was about placeholder objects (changed the title because it mentioned AutoShape).

Terminology can be very tricky: as I point out in that blog post, a template in Captivate has a very strict meaning. Do you see any conflict for creating an additional master slide with the new layout being an option? I am still relatively new to captivate so always willing to be corrected just want make sure you understood what I meant. Like I said my preference is like yours to keep the master slide option minimal and then add elements when working within the project which would allow for copying elements between slides.

The idea being if it is something that has to be repeated multiple times creating a slide with those parameters in the master slide section to reflect that may be an option. Maybe I did not clearly express it enough that I agreed with you about not being able to move placeholders that are set up in the master slide, but was suggesting another possible solution.ĭepending on the parameters of the project, the option could be to add an additional master slide in the theme with a basic layout that has the amended place holder object in the new position that it would be needed (if it was something that would used in additional slides within the project and would remain static in position for each slide). I was not referencing template as in creating one but rather referencing the "template" I was trying to related to an understanding in terms of "a basic layout guide" with which to work from.

I think my reference the word template may be a semantic one.
