Bullet points and styles in masters

Hi,

I am creating a template which will be used by everyone in my firm. For this template I have made a master which indicates, when a user adds a new slide, what size and style font the text should etc. The master also indicates that in the first level of text, bullets should not be used, but must be used in the following two lines of text as shown below:

First level
- Second level
- Third level

although I have entered this on the slide master, only the 'first level' bit appears when the master view is closed and I insert a new slide. The bullets we wish to use are customised shapes so it's important they appear on the master and I can't seem to get them there. Is there a way of correcting this?

Many thanks,
Morgan
