Hi, after much searching on this i'm unable to find a solution to what i'm
trying to achieve. I work in a company of 45 people, and we have a Corporate
presentation design that we would like on everyone's pc. We are using office
2007 & vista.

Reading previous posts, i see people talking about chaning the defaults in
the design ribbon. For some reason i am unable to change the default, as it's
not an option when i right click the design.

Is there any way to just copy the file to a certain location on a pc and
then the design will appear on starting powerpoint? or is that too simple?
 
You need two things to save a new default template:

1. The file must be named blank.potx
2. The file must be in the right place.

If you double-click the template file to open a file based on it and then
use Office Button | Save As, you can choose PowerPoint Template POTX from
the "save as type" dropdown and it will take you to the correct folder.

(That folder is here, by the way:
C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates)

Then name the file blank (or blank.potx) and save.
