--- Comment #4 from Regina Henschel <[email protected]> --- ODF has currently a different approach than OOXML. Master (<syle:master-page>) and layout (<style:presentation-page-layout>) are separated in ODF. They are combined in the individual slides. You can combine in a slide any layout with any master. In MS Office you can only use a layout for a slide if the layout is beforehand bound to a master. Coming from MS Office users think they need a master slide for to get a slide with title only, but in fact they only need to set the appropriate layout. We could immediately change the UI in LibreOffice to allow to assign master and layout at the same time to make it easier for users with MS Office background. It will last a long time to add something to ODF, that allows to bind a layout to a master. And to be honest, I'm not a fan of such an addition to ODF. A presentation template is a document which has some slides and masters, which the author thinks are useful, so that you can adapt their dummy texts or you can create new slides from them. It mainly helps by providing decorative things. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
