Every time I open an existing presentation that I've already saved to disk,
it opens as a "Presentation1" or similar, requiring me to do a "Save As". I
wouldn't normally whine but I have to save to a shared drive, and since
PowerPoint never remembers the shared drive location I always have to click
through 6 or more steps to get to it, and it does get to be a pain.

Any solutions?
Thanks,
GES
 
Is the existing presentation saved as a PowerPoint Template (*.pot)? That is
the behavior I would expect from a template, not a regular PowerPoint file.
The next time you save, look carefully under the Save As file type.
