If your company has certain standards for all presentations (i.e. logo in a specific location, identification of title slides and so on) you might want to change PowerPoint's "blank" presentation so it reflects your standards.

To replace the PowerPoint default blank presentation with one of your own design, follow these steps:

1. Create the presentation you want to use as the "blank" presentation.
2. Choose File, Save As. In the Save as Type box, click Design Template.
3. Type "Blank" in the File Name Box and click Save.

With a Blank Presentation File in the correct location, all "blank" presentations, whether created via the New Presentation pane or the New icon on the Standard toolbar, will be based on that file.

NOTE: To make this change for all users in your organization, you must create a Blank Presentation design template file for each user and place it in the correct custom template folder.
