PowerPoint 97-2003 Template (POT) is the template format used by Microsoft PowerPoint before the 2007 release. A POT stores the design of a presentation rather than its content: slide masters, colour schemes, fonts, background graphics, and placeholder layouts. Opening one creates a new presentation that inherits that design, which is how organisations keep every deck visually consistent with their branding.
Double-click the file and PowerPoint starts a new presentation based on the template. To modify the template itself, launch PowerPoint first and open the POT through File → Open.
LibreOffice Impress also reads POT templates. The modern equivalents are POTX for a plain template and POTM for a macro-enabled one, and PowerPoint will convert a POT to either when you save it. Older POT files can contain macros, so open ones from unfamiliar sources with care. You can also convert the file with our POT to PPTX tool.
