Hey Rob,

there are two possibilities for the misformatting of the slide in your presentation.

It may well be that you are only implementing the Word template changes on the Title Master rather than the Slide Master of your PowerPoint template.

The Title Master is the title or chapter slide of your presentation, but as you say whenever you insert a new slide the changes to the font style are lost.

The Slide Master is the slide which PowerPoint uses as a template slide for each new slide that you insert and so if you apply your changes to the Title Master only these changes will not occur when you insert a new slide as they refer to the title slide and only to the title slide, not to any newly inserted slides.

If you are applying your changes to the Slide Master rather than Title Master, then it may be that you are not viewing the Slide Master in "Open" View. In other words are only applying your changes to the instance of the Slide Master in your presentation. When you insert further slides these changes to your instance of the Slide Master are not saved or a part of the Slide Master itslef but only in the instance of which you applied the changes, and so therefore again when you insert new slides the Slide Master does not have the changes you applied as they were applied only to the instance of the slide rather than the actual template slide of the Slide Master itself.

To apply your changes to the Slide Master, select View from the PowerPoint main menu and then Master from the sub menu which also opens a sub menu to the right and select Slide Master.

Apply your changes to this open slide of the template and then press Close to return to your presentation and insert new slides as usual.

You will see that the uppercase style format is now applied to your template.

Charles-

Thanks so much for your timely response and for the welcome to the forum.  However, prior to submitting my post, I had implemented all of the things that you suggested with regard to changing the fonts to Uppercase on the Master Slide. 

As I mentioned, changing the fonts to uppercase on the Master Slide appears to work just fne - for the Master Slide.  However, the font change to uppercase is not reflected on the remaining slides of the presentation. 

I additionally changed the "Heading 1" style for the imported MSWord outline file to reflect Uppercase.  However, once again, the Uppercase font change was not reflected in the presentation once the file was re-imported. 

It seems that I am able to make any other font or style changes in the Master Slide and have them reflected in the presentation, the only exception being the desired change to Uppercase. 

Thanking you in advance for any additional suggestion that you may have.

Rob

Hi Rob,

welcome to the PowerPoint Forum.

It would appear from your post that you have not applied the correct "style" settings to your textbox holder that you wish to display Uppercase text in.

With the Slide Master view open, simply select the text placement holder that you wish to display uppercase text, and  simply select Change Case from the Format main menu option. Selecting UPPERCASE and pressing Ok to make all text in the selected placeholder uppercase.

Close the open Slide Master view and now each inserted slide will display uppercase text in the formatted placement holder.

I recently created a PowerPoint presentation by importing an "outline" from MSWord.  Once the outline was imported I wanted to change the font for the "titles" to Uppercase.  Although the change was evident on the Master Slide, it was not reflected on the subsequent slides of the presentation. 

It seems that I am able to make all other font changes via the Master Slide, i.e., color, size, font, etc.  However, the ability to convert to Uppercase seems to escape me. 

Thanks in advance for any insight. 

Rob
