Using/Applying Multiple Slide Masters

[+alcheme]

My client will use multiple color schemes depending on which department is
using the presentation. We'd like to avoid making 9 different POTs. So I've
build multiple slide masters using the correct colors for each dept., but
can't figure out how to APPLY any of them. It always defaults to the primary
Slide Master. The only option is to open one of the alternates in Master
view, then copy/paste the new color layout OVER the default. Very sloppy.
Help?

First, give each of your slide masters a name:

In Slide Master view, right click on a slide master, select rename and then
assign a name.
Exit Slide Master View.

Select View > Slide Design. The Design Task Pane will appear on the right
side of your workspace. Hover over each of the thumbnails at the top of the
design options. These will be your newly named masters. Select the drop down
menu of the desire master design and apply as desired.
