Microsoft .POT templates are so infuriating to use on OSX that almost every OSX user of Office I know has routinely ignored .POT and copies an integrally complete .PPT and strips out the slides.

the whole "apply template" idea is broken.

If I made an empty file via classic shell :> file.ppt and it was a valid powerpoint, I would be surprised. But for many systems, a valid empty instance can be passed around. I don't like 8.3 magic override "if its .txt its a text file" but I know it exists (eg for icon assignment in the GUI)
