InDesign User Formatting Help

I have been using InDesign for over 15 years so I am pretty used to using styles, however, the styling in Impress is driving me crazy. Can someone explain to me how this works. I create a style for my Heading 1, my Body Text, and my Bullets. But when I select the line I want to apply it to, it changes the whole text box! Do I seriously have to create a new text box for each of my items. One for the heading, one for the body, and one for any bullets?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hello

The formatting in Impress is a little different then for other parts of OOo. It is a combination of master pages and styles. You set the formatting for one set of masters pages and then you select a master page.

I see. The presentations I have to make aren't consistant. No two slides will look the same, so I would need a different master page for each slide. I was just looking for an easy way where I could have a large text box and then "mark-up" the text as need: heading, body text, bullet list, subhead, etc., just like I do it in InDesign or Word. It looks like it will just be easier for me to do it without styles.

Thanks.
