Now *that* is a major leap.  FL+Windows to PPT+Mac.  

FL, even back in the Win3.1 days, had some features that I'm still waiting
to see in PPT.
Aside:  do you know if they still ****p the "For Dummies" book with
FL/SmartSuite instead of a manual?

Anyhow, back on task ...

The simplest way to do this would be to leave the layouts/masters alone. 
Type your text into the body 
text placeholder then press ESC (selects the entire text box) and set it
to Courier or some other 
non-pro****tional font.  Once you manually format text differently from the
master, PPT pretty much 
leaves it alone, even if you switch masters.

Or if you don't need the HTML text to appear in the outline, you can add a
new text box using the 
drawing tools and format the text to taste.
