PPT97: Custom Settings Lost After Installing SR-2 Patch (193213)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft PowerPoint 97 for Windows
This article was previously published under Q193213 SUMMARY
After installing the Microsoft Office Service Release 2 (SR-2) patch,
PowerPoint 97 no longer recognizes your custom settings stored in the
Blank Presentation.pot template.
This behavior occurs because the PowerPoint executable file (Powerpnt.exe)
is newer than the Blank Presentation.pot template file. PowerPoint ignores
the Blank Presentation.pot if its last modified date is earlier than the
modified date of the PowerPoint executable. PowerPoint will use the Blank
Presentation.pot file if the last modified date is later than that of the
executable file.
To have the custom settings stored in the Blank Presentation.pot template
available, open and save the Blank Presentation.pot file before you
begin using PowerPoint after installing the SR-2 patch. The Blank
Presentation.pot file is located in the \Program Files\Microsoft
Office\Templates folder by default.
