I've just upgraded from Office '97 to 2000. I can just about live with the changes to Word, Excel, and Access but Powerpoint is driving me nuts!



When I open a presentation, the left-hand third of the window is a great white space, with the slides listed as tiny icons at the left-hand edge, and below the image part of the window is another white box for 'notes'. There does not appear to be any way of de-selecting these boxes, though of course I can drag-and-drop the dividers to reduce the left-hand space to a rational size, and I can eliminate the notes box entirely (I have no use for it), BUT there seems to be absolutely no way of saving this window layout, and I have to go through the same process every time I open a presentation.

Is here any way of saving the window layout? If not I am going back to '97, though it will need a little work to my databases, which I have already migrated to 2000.
