Quick answer
Check the slide master and the slide's layout when footer text cannot be selected normally. The footer may be controlled outside the individual slide.
Understand the issue
Identify which layout the affected slide uses before editing a master. A master change can affect many slides, so save a copy and note the intended scope. Avoid covering the old footer with another text box unless that is a deliberate final design.
Step-by-step checks
- Open Slide Master view.
- Inspect the relevant master or layout and its footer placeholders.
- Make the intended change and review affected slides in normal view.
