This article was previously published under Q113015 SYMPTOMS
When you apply a template to an existing presentation file, the
settings in the Slide Setup dialog box for the presentation are not
altered. For example, if the template has a portrait orientation
for its slides and you apply that template to a presentation whose
slides have a landscape orientation, the orientation is not changed.
All of the other Slide Setup options remain unchanged as well:
Slides Sized For
Width
Height
Number Slide From
Orientation
The Apply Template (version 3.0) and Presentation Template (version
4.0) commands are designed to transfer the contents and formatting
of the masters from one presentation to another presentation.
RESOLUTION
If you want to change an entire presentation based on an existing
file's template (masters) and Slide Setup, do one of the following:
- Either apply the template and then change the Slide Setup of the
presentation to match the Slide Setup of the file used as a
Template.
-or-
- Copy all of the slides from the presentation to a new presentation
that has the same master and Slide Setup as the template.
