Running Power Point 2003 with Windows XP with all updates.
I recently added a large number of .pot template files to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Templates\Presentation Designs. They do not display when I click the "Design" button. The only ones that show are the original ones. They are listed when I "Browse" along with the original templates. Any suggestions as to how I can see them displayed in the Slide Design panel? Thanks, Gordo |

Oddly, you'll need to *use* each POT file before it will appear in the Task
Pane. So open it (them), do something -- anything, do a Save As (somewhere other than the template folder) and rename. Close file and reopen PowerPoint. Now it should be there.

I followed your instructions, to no avail. The template did not appear in
the "AvailavleFor Use" listing, only in the "Recently Used" listing. I recently had to rebuild my machine. Before that, I did add all those templates and they did appear in the Available For Use listing. I did find the answser. Install the .pot files in C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates folder instead of the Program Files folders I first asked about.
