PowerPoint Sucks

My project today at the office was to design a PowerPoint Template that everyone can use. That way all the presentations on the project would be branded.

Everything I wanted to could not be done.
1 - Master slide - I wanted to make the heading all UPPERCASE. The master slide makes it UPPERCASE. But when you insert a slide it's upper lower. (Same problem with the bullets)
2 - I was playing with the color palatte and ended up with too many of similar colors in the drop-down text/paint/line toolbox. There is no way to get rid of the ones you don't want from the drop down quick selection list.
3. When inserting a chart, you can't customize the font colors on the graph.

And we wonder why Microsoft is tanking?
