I understand that this is not prefect
but there are some cronic problems with the Eclipse templates that many
people seem to be experiencing.  For my part I cut and paste between
lots of different templates and presenations and generally do not experience
the level of difficulty I have with the Eclipse template-based presentations.
 There seem to be some issues with default colors and font sizes in
particular.

My suggestion is that we start from
scratch and create new templates trying to do as little change as possible
to the master slides.  Seems like Donald and Anne are on this already.
 This will be great to see.

Jeff,
 
FWIW, I’ve had this problem
when copying from just about any template to another one.  The problem
is in the Master Slide, which determines all of the formatting for the
different slide types.  Anyway, I doubt there’s much the Eclipse
folks can do, other than not changing the Master Slide from previous templates.
 Then at least cut and paste between Eclipse presentations will work.
 
Doug

Speaking of power point templates, we should try to do something about
the template we put out.  Pretty much everyone I know has difficulty
with the typcial Eclipse templates.  They seem to do strange things
with the font sizes and the color schemes.  Pasting in content from
other talks (or copying stuff from an EclipseCon talk) requires significant
fixup and review time to ensure that things were not messed up.  This
experience appears to be unique to the Eclipse templates.

So, concretely, I suggest that we start from a plan, empty PPT file and
create completely new templates.  I'm more than happy to test them
out and provide feedback.
