How do you insert new placeholders into your masters?

[Coyotekel]

I need to create a template that looks nothing like the page layouts that
Powerpoint has. I've searched online and find nothing similar either. I know
how to create my own template but not how to insert extra placeholders into
the powerpoint master. Please help. Thanks, Kelley

Kelley,
Unfortunately you cannot insert new placeholders in the PPT masters.
Best choice is to use multiple masters.

I've been looking for information on this same question. Once I posted my
question, I found lots of other people wanted to know the same thing. After
reviewing all these requests to add more placeholders, does Microsoft have
any plans to enable the possibility of adding multiple place holders?

That is only known to Microsoft. However, you can post the suggestion to add
your voice to the "many".
