Many thanks!

I have a lot of templates I created in the last version of PP. SInce the 2008 version uses "themes", how can I import all of my templates so that they're available again. It would take many hours to recreate them.

I have a PowerPoint presentation created in the 2004 Mac version. But when I view the file using PowerPoint 2007 Windows, the type that is supposed to be transparent is opaque.

Is there anything I can do (other than having to remember to turn my screen saver off each time I use PowerPoint) when I am using Powerpoint? Even when I am in an active presentation, the screen saver will turn on if I leave a slide on the screen too long.
Any thoughts? Thanks!
