@dg: "I work in a company with 600+ employees and I'm wondering if it's possible 
for me to create and load a standardized color scheme in PPT that 
automatically pops up when a new presentation is being created?  I'm trying 
to unify our branding across the enterprise."
    @PPTMagician: "With PowerPoint 2007 you can use a theme:

PowerPoint 2003 use a custom blank template:

    @Sandy: "You can never prevent someone from adding their own colors to PowerPoint 
2003, but you can get them started in the right direction with establishing 
color schemes. To do so do this:
In your Slide Master View:
Format > Slide Design. 
In the slide design task pan, select Color Schemes > Edit Color Schemes
In the Custom Tab, enter your custom RGB scheme
Add as Standard Standard Scheme
Select the Standard Tab
Delete all the schemes except the one (or more  sometimes corps have 
secondary and tertiary schemes) that you created
Hit apply.
Now in the Apply Color Scheme task pane you'll see only the scheme(s) you 
created. 
In the drop down menu for your scheme, select Apply to All Masters.
These colors will appear in the top row of your Fill, Line and Font color 
options in the Drawing Tool bar. The second rows in the tool bar are for 
recently used colors. If you don't want users to see any other colors other 
than those in your scheme, "use" the colors your just programmed until the 
2nd rows are to your liking. Hopefully "out of site, out of mine" applies 
here.
