I found this a little strange at first.
I have two questions.
Has anyone done the following? File > Templates > Organize. Then
double click the Presentation folder to see what tempates are listed
there. Is Autumn4.otp one of three presentation templates listed?
If the answer is no, try this with the Template Management window
still open. Click the command button to open the drop down menu. Then
click Update to update the template database (if that is what it is).
Now check what presentation templates are contained in the
Presentation folder.
