Gruss Christian!
I think that the main problem that exists today (OOo 2.2) is that in the
task pane you can select a Page Master, but if you want to modify it you
have to access the menu "View > Master > Slide Master". Using within the
same user interface two different terms to refer to the same object is for
me what causes the confusion in most of the users.
I am not sure I understand the problem you mention. Notes master is already
in use (View > Master > Notes master) and I am not suggesting to replace
this term. The notes master defines the layout of the Notes page and I do
not think there is a consistency issue here.
If you are suggesting that the page master in the Task pane is different
from the slide master, then I am afraid I will have to ask you to elaborate
as it does not seem to be the case.
As for the handouts master, I could not find this functionality. The only
modification to the handout layout is performed manually (no master
involved) or by means of the layout tab in the task pane.
In summary my suggested RFE is to replace any occurrency of "Master Page"
with "Slide Master" and "Master Pages" with "Slide Masters".

| [discuss] Einstruction/CPS 4.0 suggestion/question Posted: 17 Apr 2007 06:49 PM PDT
It really depends on _how_ Einstruction works with powerpoint. Maybe
it just creates files for powerpoint to display?
If so, you are in great shape, because OO does a pretty fine job of
opening files from PowerPoint.
If it somehow hooks into PowerPoint, then probably impossible without
support from the programmers of Einstruction.
Good luck

can you suggest a good place to learn about OOo's template handling
and styles inheritance?
Writer seems to ignore the outline levels of a Word document's styles.
Maybe I'm missing something...
On a superficial level, the styles in OOs are great. There do seem to
be some areas where improvements could be made...
cheers
