Can't apply a design template to selected slide

[rpbsr]

"Apply to selected slide" is not shown as an option

 

[Echo S]

Do you have a slide selected in the slide thumbnail pane on the left?

 

[John Wilson]

As Echo says if you dont select a slide this command will be greyed out (but
visible).

if you cant see it at all are you using the little drop down menu to the
right of the design thumbnail?

 

[rpbsr]

Yes, a slide is selected, but the only choices are "Apply to all slides",
"Use for all new presentations", and "Show Large Previews"

Do you have a slide selected in the slide thumbnail pane on the left?

John,
the option is not visible at all, not even greyed out.

What version of ppt is it?

Only XP onward supports this.

Perhaps that could explain it; I'm using PowerPoint 2003, Student-Teacher
Edition.

It's odd, I use this feature on the job with no problem, and I am pretty
sure we have Office 2003 Professional, but I could be mistaken.
