After finding that Themes saved in Theme Builder were not working in PowerPoint 2010 (Windows) and 2011 (Mac), we decided to explore the issue further, and find out what exactly Theme Builder did to cause these incompatibilities. So, to compare the Theme saved in Theme Builder with it’s original version (which was saved in PowePoint 2007/2010 as a Theme), we opened both of them in Microsoft Visual Studio, an integrated development environment (IDE) from Microsoft.

Shapes in PowerPoint have three major attributes: fills, outlines, and effects. We have already explored how you can use fills for shapes in PowerPoint 2011. In this next section of this series, you will learn how you can work with shape outlines (lines) in PowerPoint 2011.

Presenter View is a great PowerPoint feature that many users have heard about, and want to use — but most don’t know where to begin. Fortunately, this article can be a great beginning. Presenter View is a special view available only on your laptop or the computer you are presenting from — all the while, the secondary output, typically the projected slide is in Slide Show view. One warning though, do not start using Presenter View for the first time in front of a live audience (even though they typically don’t see that view). Always test it first and make sure you know how to change settings — when you are comfortable with all these options, you can then go ahead and use Presenter View.

We have seen strange things happening with Theme Builder and how it plays with PowerPoint 2010 (and PowerPoint 2011 for Mac). For some reason, Theme Builder creates THMX files that are not too well supported by the newer versions of PowerPoint. The solution is to keep a copy of older Theme aware versions of PowerPoint installed, and resave the THMX from within those programs!
Be aware that Themes saved in Theme Builder may not be compatible with PowerPoint 2010 and 2011.
