Can't see PowerPoint Templates

[wwilson7]

I used to be able to see the designs of the slide templates so I could
choose one. I can't anymore. All I can see is the list of designs, not
what they look like. In the Help file the following information
appears:

To select a template before you begin to create your slides, on the
New tab of the Project
Gallery, under Groups, click the Presentations triangle, and then
click Designs. Click the
design you want, and then click Open.

But when I go to the Groups, Presentations is not there, only Blank
Documents and My Templates.

How do I restore the Presentations so I can see the various slide
designs without having to open each in order as a new presentation and
then try to remember which was which?

Hi W,

I'm afraid the question is too unspecific to offer much assistance.

What version of PowerPoint are you using? Have you installed the updates?

Where are you not seeing the design templates? Format > Design from the
menu? In the Project Gallery? On the formatting palette?
