SYMPTOMS
When you upgrade to Microsoft Office XP from Microsoft Office 2000, your PowerPoint 2000 templates are not saved and installed in the Office XP template folder. As a result, some of the PowerPoint 2000 templates are not available when you upgrade to Office XP.



WORKAROUND
To save the templates that were installed with PowerPoint 2000, follow these steps.

NOTE: This procedure is effective only if you have not yet upgraded to Office XP.
 * 1) Create a temporary folder named PPT Designs in the root directory of your hard drive.
 * 2) Create two subfolders of PPTDesigns, named 1033 and Presentation Designs.
 * 3) Copy the PowerPoint 2000 templates from the subfolders in the Templates folder (typically C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Templates\Presentation Designs and C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Templates\1033) to the corresponding folders in the PPTDesigns folder that you created.
 * 4) Install Microsoft Office XP. The installation program uninstalls all Office 2000 files, including the design templates.
 * 5) Copy the PowerPoint 2000 templates that you saved in the PPT Designs folder to the corresponding folders in the new Template folder, typically found at C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Templates.
