I was wondering if it is possible in PowerPoint 2007 to have the templates
automatically show up sort of as icons around the blank page area when
opening PowerPoint. We are trying to ensure that everyone in the office uses
the same format when creating presentations (with logo, title bar, etc.), so
it would be great if they could just select the template they need (chart,
table, text, etc.) right from the main screen. A friend of mine who is using
the 2003 version has this enabled and I think it's a great idea.

http://www.echosvoice.com/2007/whatgoeswhere.htm should help you understand
where to save your themes so they show up in the Themes Gallery.
