MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / November 2007Powerpoint 2003 file notation field
At the very bottom of the Powerpoint screen in a grey shaded box (very last row, just above the Windows Taskbar) there appears to be a notation regarding the file name. I am using a previously created file as a template and even though I have renamed and saved the current file, the previous file name still appears in this window. How can I reset / modify this notation so that it shows the current file name? Men, Maybe the file name has been added to the master of your presentation. In the masters footer for instance. Or perhaps in an independent textbox. There is no automatic way you can update the document name as Word can. So it must have been typed somewhere on the master.

What you are seeing is the name of the TEMPLATE used (Which in this case is the name of the other file.) Saving the file with a new name won't change it.

John, Thanks for the info. Is it possible to change / remove the name of the old template? > What you are seeing is the name of the TEMPLATE used (Which in this case is > the name of the other file.)

PowerPoint switches to master view, with the master the current slide's based on pre-selected. Rightclick the selected master's thumbnail in the slide pane on the left and choose Rename from the popup menu.
