where are slide layouts stored?

In Which folder on my hard disk do the slide layout Templates shown in the
task pane reside?

Doing a search for *.pot will show you where they are located on your
system. On this particular computer they are here in C:\Program
Files\Microsoft Office\Templates\Presentation Designs. If you design and
save your own template files, and depending on your OS and version of
PowerPoint they could end up here C:\Documents and
Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates\MyTemplates
MyTemplates being a folder I created for my stuff.

Sorry *.pot files are template files not Layout files. Does anyone know where the layouts shown in the layout task pane reside?

In your original post you asked for a layout template I misread what you
were after as templates are .pot files

They're built into PPT. There are no AutoLayout files. You can't modify AutoLayouts, unfortunately.

Hi Steve,
We have tried re-installing office to solve the problem of the slide layouts
vanishing from the (slide layout) task pane in pp 2003. Would it be that PP
is remembering our custom settings or something when we re-install?? Is there
any way we can retrieve them?

If so, it's a problem that's come up here a few times but so far we
haven't gotten a great
deal of feedback/followup from people who've reported it, so nobody quite
knows *why* it
happens.

Try setting your video hardware acceleration back as a test.

Also, do you have any addins installed?

In the other thread Mark started, I steered him to our latest thread about
this issue so he can check his add-ins. Apparently he hasn't seen that
response.

It's in the other thread you started, two down from this one. Click the +
beside it to expand it and see the contents.

Here it is again. You want the last message in the thread in that tinyurl
link below.

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.

There are no add-ins and the PC is connected to a Corporate domain.
Which page of the System information stuff should I send you?

Hi, Mark.

Unfortunately, I'm not really sure what page of system info is relevant to
this issue, so I don't know that that will help at this point.

I'm still scratching my head and trying to gather enough information to
figure this one out. I just posted two posts to the thread, "Can't see task
pane design template." Here's a link to it so you can check it out:
http://www.microsoft.com/office/com...85b717-0ba7-41ac-b21e-a70aa49c63d1&sloc=en-us
(if that long link doesn't work for some reason, use this one:
http://tinyurl.com/k8mac )

I'd ask that you run the code to double-check for installed add-ins. I'd
also be interested in what happens for you if you try the other things --
like seeing if the system is CPU-bound, running out of memory, etc. -- and
also what video card and antivirus program you're using.

Thanks for any additions to our collective knowledgebase!
