I am using Powerpoint version 11.2.4 on a MacG4 running OSX 10.3.9. My
question:
Is it possible to copy a Handout or Notes Master from one presentation
to another?
Having set or reset all the options and adjustments in one presentation
it is very tedious to exactly replicate those settings and common text,
etc. in another presentation - aside from using the original as a
template and starting a new presentation from scratch.)
Any help you can give appreciated. Max Wideman

You might want to take a look @ PPt Help using the search term 'design
template' (without the quotes).

Thanks, CyberTaz. Yes, I've tried that. What the PPt Help says is:
"[To] Apply a different design to a presentation
1. Open the presentation you want to apply a different design to.
2. On the Format menu, click Slide Design.
3. Find and select the design you want to use - or any presentation
whose design you want to use - and then do one of the following: . .
."

Actually, the latest PPt presentations are grayed out and you first
have to Save as a .pot file (although earlier versions of PPt are
accessible). The slide and title Master designs do transfer nicely.
However, that does not include the Notes and Handout pages layout. :-(
Which is why I asked the question:

But thanks for trying. Maybe there is some trick I'm still missing?
