SYMPTOMS

When you save a presentation as a template, the default values of the Snap To Grid and Snap To Shape settings are saved (Snap To Grid is on, and Snap To Shape is off).

NOTE: To change the Snap To Grid and Snap To Shape settings, click Draw on the Drawing toolbar, point to Snap, and then click To Grid or To Shape.

RESOLUTION

To temporarily work around this problem, after you save and close the template, reopen the template and change the Snap To Grid and Snap To Shape settings again. Then, click Save (not Save As) on the File menu to save the template. Your settings are now retained.


STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was corrected in Microsoft Office 2000 SR-1/SR-1a.
