Re: Creating/Modifying Page layouts in 2004

> 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.

MS tends to respond with features that lots of users request.  If we can
judge by what we 
see in this and the other PPT newsgroup, editable handout layouts would be
hugely im****tant 
to some people, but apparently not all that many of 'em.  It doesn't come
up all that often.

And for the Windows version, there's an inexpensive add-in that pretty
much takes care of 
most needs unmet by PPT.
