SYMPTOMS
If you format the default presentation with a custom orientation and/or
size, and save your changes, when you choose a new presentation with a
specific template, the presentation does not use the new default slide
settings.
RESOLUTION
To keep your custom slide setup, choose Blank Presentation, and then add
the template you want to use rather than selecting the Template option
in the New Presentation dialog box.
On the File menu, click New, and then click Blank Presentation. The new
presentation follows the default template. Click the Template button in the
lower-right corner of the PowerPoint window, or click Presentation
Template on the Format menu and select the template you want. The
template is added without changing the orientation and size.
MORE INFORMATION
If you create a presentation based on a template, the size of the
presentation is determined by the template. If you create a presentation
based on the AutoContent Wizard, the size of the slide is determined by the
Wizard.
PowerPoint uses the saved information in the default presentation file only
when you choose the blank presentation option.
