Templates and handout master

I've created a template for a client in PP 2003. The template formats the
slides, title, handouts and notes masters. When I apply the template to a
slideshow, the slides and title slide are perfect. But the formatting on the
handouts and notes masters do not seem to get applied. Am I doing something
wrong or is it not possible to impact these masters through a template?

It depends on the way you apply the template to a slideshow. If you use
Format - Design, only the slide and title master are applied. Open a new
presentation based on this template instead and use Insert - Slides from
file to import the existing slides. That will apply the handout and notes
master, too.

Thanks Geetesh and Ute. This was helpful.

In addition to what Ute said, save the original file as a PPT/PPTX file, not
a template. Template files can only store slide and title masters.
