Slide layout templates don't show up.

[Jennifer]

Hi,

I am having a problem with Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2003 SP2.

When I select format > slide layout, the slide layout templates don't show
up. This is also the case for slide design.

I checked for updates and installed all the recent updates recommended. I
also did a reinstall of Microsoft Office. Niether procedure helped.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Jen
