Before we start just let me say that Powerpoint is a bag 'o' shite. OK, now, here's my question.
Where in hell are Powerpoint's built in design templates located on Mac OS X? I need the presentation I designed to be available as a design template when you select 'New Presentation'.

Project Gallery > 'Customize' links to the default and workgroup template locations

PPT rules

applications/microsoft office x/templates/presentations
there are two folders content and design, you can use this templates from within pp by opening the project gallery. so it would be possible to copy your template to that location.
and yes, pp easy a bag of shite!

Thanks folks - maybe it's easier just working from the Project Gallery then. I was hoping I could get the templates to show up when you select 'New Presentation' (where templates like Title Page/2 Column Text/Bulleted List are) but it ain't workin.
This is torture for me - I've spent most of my career trying NOT to use Powerpoint. Can't wait until this is over!

Another quick question - how the feck do you add a subtitle to a PP slide?
I've edited the title master and there's an area for a sub-title but in 'Normal View' where the numbered slides appear I can only insert a title (if you know what I mean).
This is now officially doin' my nut in and I'm about ready to throw the Mac out the window.

Ignore me, I've worked it out.

OK, one more question I promise! Been looking on Google but not finding the right answers.
How do you edit attributes of things like picture placeholders on the built-in layouts? (4 picture/2 picture & text etc.) I want it so when pictures are imported they automatically have a 4pt white border on them.
Any ideas?
