That doesn't solve the problem. We want the images on the Master so they are
in the top corners for all the lsides in the presentation (just like they are
now). The users have been migrated to 2007 from 2003. The presentations
they had with pictures placed individually on the Master slide now appear to
be considered as one background image in 2007 which effectively eliminates
the users ability to modify the Master slide with respect to those pictures.
They can't even select the individual picture(s) to place/re-use it in a new
presentation. To consider telling the users to start from scratch is a
"crap" answer in my opinion. Instead, we need to know how to be able to
manipulate the Master exactly with the same capability we had in Office 2003.
My limited knowledge on this topic so far lends me to believe a solution may
exist if we can retrieve the original Master slide as a template and edit
that way, but I haven't figured that out yet.
