Loading additional slide masters
Sometimes, in the same set of slides, you may need to mix multiple slide masters that may belong

(Figure 147).
3) Select in the Load Slide Design dialog the template from which to load the slide master and
click OK.
4) Click OK again to close the Slide Design dialog.

use subsection of Master Pages.
