Not here. First be certain that you have Office fully updated (12.1.5 is the
current build). Do the same for OS X (10.5.6) & repair Disk Permissions.

However, I'm curious as to what you're attempting to accomplish by copying
the placeholder field content on a Slide Master in the first place.

Thanks, Bob.

1. OS X 10.5.6
2. Updating Office now, but it found 12.1.0, not 12.1.5 - why is that?
3. wasn't copying placeholder text, was copying text from an existing template to use on another master.
4. what does "repair Disk Permissions" mean?

O.K., updated to 12.1.5 (Holy Mackerel, what an ordeal!), and it no longer does this.

Thanks,
