SYMPTOMS
If you use an OLE destination application's Insert Object command to create a new PowerPoint Slide or Presentation object, PowerPoint ignores its Blank Presentation.pot file and opens using its internal default settings.



WORKAROUND

 * 1) In the destination program, click Object on the Insert menu.
 * 2) In the list of available object types, click Microsoft PowerPoint Presentation or Microsoft PowerPoint Slide.
 * 3) When your new slide appears, click Apply Design on the Format menu.
 * 4) Switch to the Templates folder and click Blank Presentation.pot.
 * 5) Click Apply.

The PowerPoint object you are creating now follows Blank Presentation.pot.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
