Within Word under file, options, Advanced, file locations you can set the workgroup templates location. This seems to work well for Word. It also seems to be picked up for Excel. Yet Powerpoint 2013 does not have this option and it does not seem to be picking this location up.

We basically want to point all three office products to a network location for all shared workgroup templates. How can we do that?

Thanks

   

Hi:

In Powerpoint, we may not be able to modify the templates file path like in work through advance->file location. Instead, we can modify it though option ->save->default personal templates location: your shared location. Next time when you design a file and want make it to be a template, Powerpoint will save your file to default personal templates location. And the template will loaded in personal template next time you new a file. let me know if it would work for you or not, thank you.

Its all working as expected. Very sorry. The word setting effects powerpoint as well. The reason the powerpoint template didnt show up was because it was not a template file but the powerpoint file. As soon as I saved it in the correct format it all worked as expected. Thanks. (We didnt need anything in the personal templates location). Its good to talk.

Thank you for your help and response.
