Created a template to make it the master. Can it be done?

[Mel]

I am using PowerPoint 2000.
A co-worker created a template that I would like to use as the Master for
another presentation. I could not find anything in PowerPoint that lets me
designate this slide as the Master. Instead I am prompted to create a master.
Can this slide be made to be the master slide, or do I have to start from
scratch?

I tried what the article said, saving the template so that it would show on
the pulldown menu (format/apply design template/presentation designs). The
background turned white instead of using my template. What should I do now?
