Want to save time and aggravation in PowerPoint? Instead of having to change your theme every time you want to use a custom one you have stored, set it as default! Here’s how.
First, save your custom theme by going to the Design Tab > Themes dropdown and right-click on the theme in your current presentation.
Choose Save Current Theme at the bottom.
Then go back to that same dropdown, right-click on your custom theme and choose Set As Default Theme.
