Hello Roderik, Will try again to explain, maybe it is a terminology problem: I will try to adopt yours.
I have a presentation with two different types of pages, say type A and type B. They have a different background image, different alignment of the text, different size of the bullet points, of the title and subtitle styles, visible elements (e.g. date/time) and so on... Now I want to mix in the same presentation the some type A and some type B pages. So I thought the best way was to create a master for type A and a master for type B, but I did not manage to do that. Manual formatting is of course an option, but I discovered that the special formatting is lost when I convert the presentation to MS power point which reverts the text to the "master" style.
