Summary:

In Microsoft PowerPoint, if a slide title in slide view is modified in any way, it will not be affected by subsequent changes to the title in the Slide Master.

For example:

  Create a new PowerPoint presentation with two slides in it.   From the View menu, choose Slide Master.   Change the font of the title in the Slide Master.   From the View menu, choose Slides. Note that the font of both slide titles is changed, according to the change made to the Slide Master title in step 3.   Change the font size for the title in slide 1.   From the View menu, choose Slide Master.   As in step 3, change the font of the title in the Slide Master. Use a font different from any other previously used.   From the View menu, choose Slides. </li></ol>

Note that the font is changed in slide 2, according to the change made to the Slide Master title in step 8, but the font of the slide 1 title is unchanged.
