Challenge 2: A Manually-Overridden Title Surviving a Master Slide Change — Solution Walkthrough Steps: 1. On one specific slide, in Normal view, select the title text and manually change its colour directly. 2. View > Master Slide, change the title colour again to a different colour on the Master Slide itself. 3. Return to Normal view and compare every slide's title. What happens: Every slide EXCEPT the one manually edited in step 1 shows the new Master Slide colour from step 2. The manually-recoloured slide keeps whatever colour was directly applied to it in step 1, completely unaffected by the later Master Slide change. Why: Direct formatting applied straight to a specific slide's own placeholder always takes precedence over whatever the Master Slide would otherwise supply — the moment that title's colour was set manually, that one property became disconnected from the shared Master Slide definition for that specific slide, exactly as this chapter's own tip box describes. Every other slide, having never had its title manually touched, continues reading its colour live from the Master Slide and updates correctly. WHY THIS WORKS AS AN ANSWER ------------------------------ This is the Impress-side confirmation that the exact override mechanism Word & PowerPoint Chapter 8 warned about for PowerPoint's own Slide Master applies identically here — not a new risk specific to Impress, but the same underlying "direct formatting always wins over a shared definition" behaviour common to both applications.
