SYMPTOMS
If you format the default presentation (called Blank Presentation.pot in
PowerPoint 7.0, and Default.ppt in PowerPoint 4.0) with a custom orientation and/or size, and save your changes, when you choose a new presentation with a specific template, the presentation does not use the new default slide settings.
RESOLUTION
To keep your custom slide setup, choose Blank Presentation, then add
the desired template rather than selecting the Template option in the
New Presentation dialog box.
On the File menu, click New, and then click Blank Presentation. The new
presentation follows the default template. Click the Template button in the
lower-right corner of the PowerPoint window, or click Presentation
Template on the Format menu and select the desired template. The
template is added without changing the desired orientation and size.
MORE INFORMATION
If you create a presentation based on a template, the size of the
presentation is determined by the template. If you create a presentation
based on the AutoContent Wizard, the size of the slide is determined by the
Wizard.
PowerPoint uses the saved information in the default presentation file only
when you choose the blank presentation option.
