Some firms' deck templates have box titles (title in a box) while others have line titles (title on a line). I personally think line titles are more elegant but box titles are more practical. The inconvenience of having line titles is that you can't have a placeholder in the master slide - the line would be stuck in one place.
Which style do you prefer and if your firms use line titles, how do you get around the inconvenience?

Lol at this. I feel your pain.
I think lines look 10x cleaner than boxes, yet they're 50x more complicated to make, update, and modify.
Boxes it is. The way I get around it is by asking myself, "Do I care about the elegance of a title more than I care about sleep?"
Definitely agree with this. Only drawback is the formatting difference on tables vs. boxes+lines results in you having to use tables for everything in the deck, or at least stuff that's similar. It could limit flexibility.
Maybe on the next short quals deck I put together I'll give tables with bottom borders a try.
Also, I'm looking at an Evercore CIM right now for which we were buyside, and you're right. They definitely use lines, and the spacing is consistent with boxes ... and damn it looks clean.
