Bernard, you are right, hence splitting up into three separate messages.

First of all: thank you very much for your efforts and this pointer (which I had conslted already) !

Maybe I was unclear in my question/problem description:

  * problem: creating a new impress document and wishing to switch the default master page to one of
    those master pages that in the GUI-interface are listed on the right hand side in what is called
    "Task pane" (menu: "View -> Task Pane"), section entitled "Master Pages".

So far I have not found/seen a way to get at that information that the presentation GUI is able to
get to. (I can get at the default master page assigned to a newly created impress document.)

The idea is to become able to switch the "master page family" programmatically by enumerating those
"master page famliles" that the presentation GUI displays in the task pane.

TIA,
