apply new template to exisitng presentations

[Guest]

Is there an AUTOMATED way to apply a new template to an existing
presentation? Also, can the updated presentation include ALL the slide
transitions that had been defined in the original version?

Our company now has a new master presentation template that has just been
created. I am going to be responsible for moving the old presentations into
the new template. I am trying to determine what is the most time efficient
way to do this. We are running Powerpoint 97.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. This is going to be a huge task
if it's reinventing each presentation!

As a test, open one of your existing presentations and apply the new template
manually.

Does that do what you expect it to?

If so, it'd be fairly simple to automate the process.
