Fixing the Notes page in Powerpoint 2013 - Microsoft Community

i have large presentation cobbled 9 smaller presentations. on 400 slides in total. purpose of large presentation generating book.

unfortunately, result looks horrible, more when publishing pdf. slides not @ same place on pages, slides partially cover notes, unable create consistent headers. on pdf, notes fit page in powerpoint spread on 2 pages, , both slides , notes not horizontally centered moved close right margin.

i tried improve situation notes master. when modify notes master, however, there no effect on notes. when select reapply notes master, slide disappears, leaving blank space above notes.

i created blank presentation , copied slides it, unfortunately copied (mis)formatting of notes pages.

is there way:

• to have notes master override whatever notes page formatting exists on slide ?
• and without deleting slide?
• or: copy slides new presentation without notes format?

or there other suggestions how publish acceptable-looking book large, mildly heterogeneous powerpoint file?
