How do i find the file that stores slide layouts in Pwrpoint 2003

[MarkD]

The Slide layouts pane on the right in PP 2003 is a really handy feature but
all the slide templates keep disapearing and all I have is a blank pane. How
do I stop this??

The Slide Layout pane is different from the Slide Design pane - to see the
Slide Design pane, choose Format | Slide Design.

Hi Mark

As above slide design and layout are different panes.

However I guess you mean layout.

A good idea is to put a button on the toolbar to open the pane.

To Do This:

Click "toolbar options" on the formatting toolbar (that's a small arrow to
the right of the toolbar left/right/centre text etc) Then go to "add or
remove buttons" >> "formatting" then tick "layout" (and/or design).

This should give you a toolbar button to open the pane.

Hope this helps

John

Sorry I should have been clearer about the slide layouts.

When I select the slide layout view in the Task Pane, no layouts are
displayed. I would like to get them back somehow. Where are they stored? and
what file extension identifies them?

We're seeing more and more reports of blank slide layouts in the slide
layout task pane, and we've determined that it's a conflict with some PPT
add-ins. We don't know yet exactly what about the add-ins causes it, and we
don't know *what* add-ins cause it, either. One is the Prompt Translator,
but there may be others.

Please go read our most recent thread about this issue here:
http://tinyurl.com/bc3u7 If you could check your add-ins as described in
that post and isolate the one causing the problem, I'd LOVE to know which
one it is so I can give the Microsoft PPT crew a heads up. Even if you can't
isolate it, if you want to post back with information on what add-ins you
found installed, we can probably point you in the right direction for which
one to look at.
