I have a bit of an issue with PowerPoint 2000. I am
creating slides on a weekly basis where i am copy and
pasting slides from different spots into a show. Now that
works fine until i want to make them all look the same.
By that i mean the same background...font colour...and
text box positions. They are all from different sources,
so i get variations on what i want. Is there a way to put
the show together then format the whole presentation to
one style that i made?? Any help would be appreciated,
thank you.

If you insert the new slides into a presentation which is based on the style you created, they will take on that presentations characteristics

Okay, so in order to do this and make all the other
slides' format convert to teh one i want, i need to do
more than this no?? I did as you stated, but yet the text
is not the same, colour is different, etc. Do i somehow
make a custom template then save that? I am relatively
new at this. (as if you couldn't tell...) Any help is
appreciated.

Thanks again,
Tom

The first step, would be to make and save a template of your liking. I would then use the insert slide from presentation method of moving my slides form one presentation to another. By rights, all information your have in placeholders will take on the characteristics of the placeholders from your template presentation If you have created text boxes, they will retain the their original formatting and you will have to make changes. You can find some interesting material here also
Do this before using PowerPoint seriously

You may have to reapply the slide layout after pulling the slides into
the target presentation. Sometimes you have to reapply it twice, even.

After you've tried that, if things aren't changing, what Michael said
goes. So it really depends on how the files were set up.

You can see what colors will change and why on the color schemes pages
of my site if you're interested. But again, what happens depends on how
the original presentations were set up. URL's in signature.
