Question:
After years of beamer presentations with different looks I've decided
on one
that I'll use for all future presentations. How do I save this format and
structure (stripped of presentation-specific content) as a default
template
for all my future beamer documents?
Comment:
A just-completed presentation has 6 images in it. The first two share
their
frames with text so I used columns and two individual columns per
frame with
the image on the left and the text on the right. This worked just fine.
But, the next 4 images are large and each occupies an entire frame by
itself. I inserted the first one, tweaked the size and position, and used
alt-p/shift-enter to create a new frame environment. But, nothing
happened;
no new frame. I looked in the beamer manual but the word 'image' appears
only once and in reference to using overlays.
After much futzing I discovered a solution. When I defined a new frame
environment I inserted an itemize environment, then immediately created a
new, following frame. With the latter patiently waiting I inserted the
image
in the first new frame, set its size and position, then moved to the next
frame that was created before inserting the image.
I hesitate to call this a bug because I don't know if there's a way I've
missed to insert only an image in a frame then create a new frame
after that
other than what I did.

Rich
Rich,
Re your question, I believe all you need to do is click File > Save As,
click the "Templates" button in the dialog to steer you to your
templates directory, and finish the save operation (giving it a suitable
name).
Re your comment, I don't reproduce that here. Keep in mind, though, that
the shortcut to start a new frame (at least on my setup) is alt+p enter,
not alt-p shift-enter. Works for me.
