Guides in Templates

[Guest]

When I create a template in PPT2000, I am trying to add some guides to the template. I position them where I want them and save as a design template. When I go to use the new template, there is only one vertical and one horiz. guide at 0". I have some older templates that retain the correct guide positions but cant get a new one to do the same. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Guides are saved with a .PPT or .PPS file, i.e. a presentation, but not with
a template. However, you can set the guides and then save the Master as a
..PPT and use it as a template. However, it won't be available from the
gallery of templates. When you select Format > Design Template, you can
change the "Files of Type" to .PPT and then browse for your presentation and
select it. The effect will be the same as if you were to apply a .POT.

Thanks for the input. I had some older templates that kept the guide positions so I knew it had to work. All it took was to change the file extension from .ppt to .pot after i had everything created and now I have a template that keeps the guides in the posiions i wanted. Thanks again
