Question : Making custom PowerPoint template the default for all users
Hey all,
Our Marketing department created a company PowerPoint template that ALL employees should be using as their default template. Is there a way to "push" this template out to all users so this becomes the default in their local machines? We run mostly Office 2007, but we do have some Office 2003 users around. Thanks.

As John pointed out, you need create the blank.potx file:

For PowerPoint 2007 you should also create a default theme:

You can use a script to copy to all the PCs (and if desired overwrite the file every time someone logs on)

You can use Group Policies to disable the Save As Default menu item on the Ribbon in PowerPoint 2007:
