     Are you using styles to do what you want? Are the 
slide shows you mention created using PowerPoint? Impress is 
designed to work with styles; MS Office for years has not. 
(Recent version seem to have changed this.)
     My suggestion is to apply styles to the slide show. 
The Impress Guide has instructions on how to do this and 
many more things as well.
