TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Well, I would imagine there are a number of ways to do this -- like going to
each
engineer's computer and replacing all their templates with the ones you want
them to use. If you'd prefer an automated solution, it seems a fair amount
of VB programming is in order. Perhaps one of your engineers could help you
out.
Or, you could point them to this site (http://www.clicktoaddtitle.com/) and
let them know what bad presentation design really looks like. Maybe a
"scared straight" tactic is all that's required...

Subject: Limiting Autolayout choices in PowerPoint templates
>
> Hello All
> Another day, another template question...
>
> Following a rash of engineer-designed PowerPoint presentations, I've set
out
> to create a template that limits choices, in order to aid the
> creatively-challenged to concentrate on content.
>
> What I would like to do is limit the number of available Autolayout
slides,
> so that when users choose to insert a new slide they are limited to
choosing
> between maybe one title layout, one text layout, and one or two different
> graphic plus text layouts.
>
> Does anyone know how to do this? Can it be done? I've read the Help, the
> archives and *all* of the internet and still can't find an answer.
>
> I'm using 2000, my users are using 2000 and 97.
>
> Many thanks
