Templates location PowerPoint 2002

I wish to locate templates on a shared network drive for users. In Word
this would be in the Workgroup templates location. How do I configure
PowerPoint in a similar fashion so one template is stored for shared use.

Hi Sean,

You use Word to do it, see below (I think it's the same
for 2000 and 2002):

OFFICE 2000 TIP
______________________________________________________

The following factors determine on which tab each template
appears in the New dialog box (File menu):

The location of the stored template.
The file location settings that you specify for the user
templates and workgroup templates on the File Locations
tab in the Options dialog box.
To specify template file location settings

On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the File
Locations tab.
Specify the settings that you want to set for user and
workgroup templates.
To eliminate confusion about where to store user and
workgroup templates, instruct users to do the following:

Store templates that they share on the network in the
workgroup templates file location specified on the File
Locations tab.
Store other templates (such as custom templates) in the
user templates file location specified on the File
Locations tab. By default, this location is the Templates
folder and its subfolders.
If users save a template in a different location, the
template does not appear on the General tab of the New
dialog box.

Tip: To make it easy for users to locate templates, you
can create custom tabs for templates in the New dialog box
by creating a new subfolder in the Templates folder and
then saving the templates in the subfolder. The name you
give the subfolder appears on the new tab.

HTH,
Glenna

Sean,

Where should I store my templates so that they will be available in the
PowerPoint menu or task pane?
