ignores its Blank Presentation.pot file and opens using its internal
default settings.
WORKAROUND- In the destination program, click Object on the Insert menu.
- In the list of available object types, click Microsoft PowerPoint
Presentation or Microsoft PowerPoint Slide.
- When your new slide appears, click Apply Design on the Format menu.
- Switch to the Templates folder and click Blank Presentation.pot.
- Click Apply.
The PowerPoint object you are creating now follows Blank
Presentation.pot.
