Re: [libreoffice-users] need help applying standard layouts to master pages.

Hello Dan,
    thank you for your attention.
I'll try to indicate the layout I want to apply with a (row,column) 
index, because i don't know the actual layouts' names.
I suppose the layouts on the task pane are organized in two columns and 
many rows.
This is what i'm trying to obtain:

slide master 1 (i.e. title master) = layout(3,2) with vertically resized 
text box (i.e. the title), 0 fields, 4 text boxes with fixed text around 
the title (1 above and 3 below).
slide master 2 (i.e. summary) = default layout(2,1)
silde master 3 (i.e. 2-columns image and text) = layout(4,1) with 
horizontally resized right box to half of the slide width
silde master 4 (i.e. standard text master) = layout(1,2) with 
left-aligned text and no bulleted lists.

My problem is the text inside will be fixed, while i'd want to be able 
to apply a template to a "style-empty" (white) presentation.
In other words, suppose to create a presentation with default layouts 
but with no theme: it is substantially white with some images and 
unformatted text.
Then, my wish is to be able to apply to every "type" of slide the 
corresponding slide template (i.e. master slide or slide master or 
master page).
I don't understand how to achieve this with default tools.
Could you be more explicit, please?

Thank you in advance.
