templates and master slides

[Template Confused]

Can someone provide a good definition of design templates
versus master slides?
Are the three slide masters in PowerPoint 2000 - slide,
title and notes - components or subsets of any design
template.

Or does one have no bearing on the other?

Thank you!

The Masters are subsets (or what makes up) the Design Template. You create
a new presentation, go into the Slide/Title/Notes Masters, set up your
backgrounds, colors, fonts, etc., close the Master view, click "File", "Save
as", click the "Save as type" dropdown and select "Design Template (*.pot)".
You now have a new design template. As you insert new slides, they take on
the attributes of your masters.

Hope this helps!
