Applying template to multiple files

[Chris Watts]

Is there a method of applying a template to multiple ppt files or must this
be done one at a time? I am using PPT97 and 2000.

TIA

Thanks but these all seem cover using multiple templates within one
presentation - not what I am looking for.

I have lots of presentations, created using a variety of templates, to which
I wish to apply a single new template. My organisation has updated its
standard over the years and I wish to apply the latest version to all the
old presenatation that I have accummualted. ..and no there is not a
standard name for the old templates used.

Ah, in that case, one at a time. Even if the files used the same template
name, updating the template the files were based on doesn't update the
files. (I think Word might work this way, but PPT doesn't.)

How are your coding skills? You might be able to cobble something up that
does it automatically -- or hire someone to create such a utility.

Ignore that tajfella. He's trying to get you to apply multiple designs to

one
presentation, not one design to multiple presentations.

That's easy for you to say - in retrospective mode
