</div>I think there is some confusion here. There is no such<br>
thing as a TeXworks slide template, because TeXworks is<br>
only a front-end to some underlying software such as TeX,<br>
PdfTeX, XeTeX, and the formats (such as LaTeX) layered<br>
on top of those. So your "TeXworks slide template" would<br>
in reality be a template for some slide package that is<br>
itself layered on LaTeX (or Context, or even Plain TeX).<br>
<br>
Powerpoint is another thing entirely. It makes no use of<br>
TeX, and is completely unrelated to it. It is /possible/<br>
that someone has written a program to read Powerpoint<br>
templates and generate TeX source intended to replicate the<br>
visual effect, but I am unaware of any such program (which<br>
is not to suggest that it might not exist). The following<br>
link asks much the same question, and there are some potentially<br>
relevant replies :<br>
