Radial.pot was released with PowerPoint 2003 and isn't available in earlier
versions. It's actually a very simple template with a single Slide Master and a
Title Master. My suggestion is that you proceed with developing your
presentation based on the blends.pot template, which is similar. If you hear
from the instructor and she suggests an alternative template, you can then just
apply it and you'll be done. You might explain to her that each version of
PowerPoint comes with some templates that aren't available in other versions.
However, the templates that were released with previous versions are available
at the following links. She might want to use them in her assignments so that
everyone has access to them regardless of what version of PowerPoint they are
using.
