Is there a color palettle in PowerPoint where yo ucan name and make changes
to colors in the program? I don't want to make adjustments to just one slide
or one document, but to make changes to colors for the program as a whole.

Where do I go in PowerPoint to bring this up?

There isn't a feature that does exactly this but if you've chosen "Scheme"
colors (the ones on the top row of the Fill, Line and Text popup tools) you can
change the color that's assigned to each of those slots; the stuff you've
colored with those 8 colors will follow along with the new color assignments.

Try Format, Slide Color Scheme (pp2000 and earlier) or Format, Slide Design,
Click Color Schemes in the Slide Design pane, Click Edit Color Schemes at the
bottom of the pane.

Is there any way of naming colors with Pantone names, so that a print server
will recognize the Pantone name and substitute it's own Pantone CMYK
specifications for that color?

No, PPT's color schemes aren't that sophisticated.

You've asked about Pantone colors and CMYK. What exactly are you trying to
do? We might be able to offer some thoughts and solutions if we have a
better idea of the end goal here.

No, not even in PPT itself, much less in its PostScript output.
PowerPoint's not a pre-press design tool by any stretch of the imagination. That's
not to diss it ... it's not an email client or a shootemup game either. It's not
designed to be.

You might be better off exporting to WMF or copy/pasting into Corel Draw,
Illustrator or some other illustration app that understands Pantone and CMYK color
spaces, produces usable PostScript, and ideally has a decent search/replace routine
that'll let you replace PPT's RGB colors with Pantone.
