How do I apply a newly created design template in Powerpoint ?

[Guest]

My company has a specially branded Powerpoint template design. I've saved the
templates (.pot files) to the Powerpoint prgram files where the other
tempates are, but when i go to select it in Slide design, they don't come up.

Did you restart your computer? That sometimes helps PowerPoint to "find" the
templates. The template folder for all Office programs (which version do you
use?) is determined by Word. So please double-check in Word's Tools -
Options, that the right template folder is set and that your template is in
one of the two folders listed there. Can you find it in File - New?

Best regards,

Hi Norad

User defined templates don't go in the powerpoint application folder, this
is reserved for the provided templates. When you save as a .pot you should be
directed to the correct folder - usually documents and
settings\username\application data\microsoft \ templates. As Ute says this
can be changed in Word

Actually - I ended up figuring it out shortly afterwards. I saved the
templates to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Templates\Presentation
Designs. Then when I went into the deck and chose "Slide Design", there was a
"browse" link on the bottom. The templates were sitting right there.
Thanks
