What has happened to header and footers in PPT 2007?

What's happened to header and footers in PPT 2007?

Headers and footers do not behave in the same way as in PPT 2003. Now when you insert a footer, slide number or date, these boxes will be inserted as individual boxes on every slide.



That makes life very difficult when selecting objects on a slide, if not careful you can easily select the footer, date and page number box and delete it by accident.

Also when importing a PPT 2003 presentation into PPT 2007 the footer, date and slide number box become individual boxes, thus preventing an easy edit if something has to change.

In version 2003 it was easy to add text to the numbering or date placeholder. It sufficed to click in the box on the master and type in the text. If you want to do that now you have to edit each and every individual slide design. And there are 9 of them.

But there are some advantages to the new way of working. Text in footers for example can easily be altered on any slide you want. If necessary you can easily eliminate/move the textboxes on slides as they are easily selectable.

And of course footers, date and slide number are always visible even when you add a picture on the master that covers them.
