Re: Creating/Modifying Page layouts in 2004

"Whereas the PC version offers a number of different layouts as well as the
option to Link, Mac PPt just spits out a Word doc as an outline based on
Title, Subtitle & Bulleted List placeholder content. There's no graphics
slide thumbnails or page numbering & it isn't structured in a Table or....

Now I'm wondering why I even bothered to mention it"

Well I appreciate the thought anyway - I may still be able to make some
use of it.

Does anyone know from a historical perspective why the standard handout
layouts in PPT are so abysmal and can't be modified? It completely baffles
me. In many ways it is a good product - although frankly it has too much
emphasis on flash and too little on utility for my personal taste.
