PPT98: Objects on Master Appear Behind Objects on Slide

MORE INFORMATION

The Master Title object and Master Body object that appear in Slide Master view are simply templates for the real Title object and Body object. When the background objects are displayed in Slide view, the Master Title object and Master Body object are not included because they are not actual objects.

This may sometimes cause confusion. For example, if you format your Slide Master so that it contains other objects layered on top of the Master Title and Master Body, the appearance of the presentation will change when you switch to Slide view. The objects that you placed on top of the Master Title and Master Body will appear behind every object that is actually on the slide itself, including the Title object and Body object.

There is no way to place an object on the Slide Master so that it will appear in front of any object in Slide view.
