Re-applying Layout Does Not Re-apply Footer

[ecl]

Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) Processor: Intel I've created a Design Template with various Slide Layouts that all include left, center, and right footers.

If I build a presentation using this template, the footers appear on the pages as expected.

If I then delete a footer on a page, and then re-apply the slide layout by selecting the layout from the tabbed ribbon above the slide, the footer does NOT re-appear.

If I manually go to the Edit:Show Header and Footer dialog box and re-check the box for the missing footer element it does re-appear.

I find it odd that the Design Template:Slide Layouts do not seem to re-inforce displaying the placeholders. Am I missing something?

Not saying that it's right or wrong But when you click the same Design
Template it does not actually get re-applied. I believe the logic behind the
software design is that reselecting the same template is most often an error
or accident on the part of the user & that having wanted changes overridden
by doing so would be an even more of a problem & a more frequent occurrence.
