PowerPoint themes

[Robie]

Hi

We have a PP template that can have 6 'themes' (I use this word loosly). There are *only* 3 things different for each theme are:

• front cover colour
  colour underneath slide numbers (small triangle underneath the slide numbers)
  colour of the bullets

I created 6 .theme files for each colour but it also stores infomation about the position of the textboxes, etc. I *don't* want it to change the position of the textboxes if people have moved them in their presentation.
I only want each theme to change the three things I mentioned above and leave everything else alone. Is this possible?

Any help highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Robie

You can create custom theme colour sets. They will be saved as .xml files

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates\Document Themes\Theme Colors

or

C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates\Document Themes\Theme Colors

depending on your version of Windows. You could distribute these custom theme colour sets to all users. They can then apply a colour scheme instead of applying an entire theme.

Thank you Hans.
Excellent idea.
