Create a Custom Theme
If you go to the trouble of choosing a slide theme
and then customizing that scheme with effects and
with predefined or custom colors and fonts, you
probably do not want to go through the entire
process the next time you want the same theme for a
presentation. Fortunately, you do not have to because
PowerPoint enables you to save all of your theme
details as a custom theme.
