SYMPTOMS
When you apply a template to an existing presentation file, the settings in the Slide Setup dialog box for the presentation are not altered. For example, if the template has a portrait orientation for its slides and you apply that template to a presentation whose slides have a landscape orientation, the orientation is not changed.

All of the other Slide Setup options remain unchanged as well:

Slides Sized For

Width

Height

Number Slide From

Orientation

The Presentation Template commands are designed to transfer the contents and formatting of the masters from one presentation to another presentation.



RESOLUTION
If you want to change an entire presentation based on an existing file's template (master) and Slide Setup, do one of the following:
 * Either apply the template and then change the Slide Setup of the presentation to match the Slide Setup of the file used as a template.

-or-
 * Copy all of the slides from the presentation to a new presentation that has the same master and Slide Setup as the template.
