PP launches a particular template

Vesnog · #1 05-04-2013, 03:02 AM

Greetings everyone,

PP opens one of my previous presentations each time it is launched; there are seven slides in this presentation and I want to remedy this situation if possible.

Thanks

Bottom left you should see Slide 1 of 1 and the name of the open template. What is the name?

Thanks for the reply, I see slide 1 of 7 and the name next to it is "Blank".

OK. Two options:

1: If you don't want the "Blank" Design at all...

Open PowerPoint. Choose "Save As" and change the Save As Type box to PowerPoint Template (*.potx)

DO NOT SAVE but you should see a file named Blank.pot or Blank.potx. Right Click > Delete. Close and reopen PowerPoint.

2. You like the design but don't want the slides ....

Open as before and then delete the unwanted slides
Choose Save As Type PowerPoint Template (*.potx)

Choose the name Blank and save over the file already there. If Blank.pot (not .potx) then delete it as above.

Close and reopen.
