SUMMARY
The slide master may contain objects that are overlapped by the AutoLayout placeholders. If you want to adjust the placeholders so that they no longer overlap, follow these steps:
 * 1) On the View menu, point to Master, and then click Slide Master.
 * 2) Hold down the SHIFT key and click the placeholder that you want to resize or move.
 * 3) Adjust the size of the placeholder by dragging one of the black handles on the placeholder (handles are located at each corner and at the midpoint of each side).
 * 4) To move the placeholder, click the shaded outline and drag it to the desired new position.

With the exception of the Title Slide layout, every slide based on an AutoLayout has the placeholders adjusted automatically.



MORE INFORMATION
In PowerPoint 4.0, slides based on the Title Slide layout have to be adjusted manually for each slide. In PowerPoint 7.0 the Title Master can be adjusted as well. To do this, follow these steps:
 * 1) On the View menu, point to Master, and then click Title Master.
 * 2) If Title Master is unavailable, click Slide Master, then click the New Title Master button at the bottom of the slide.
 * 3) Once in the Title Master, adjust the appropriate placeholder as described in the Summary section of this article.
