How to add new powerpoint slide designs?

This is a step-by-step guide for newbs (like me! heh :P). Enjoy!

--This guide is tailored for Win7 users--

P/S: I'll add in screenshots when I have the time ;)

1. First, go to this website or any other reliable sites that provide free slide design downloads.

I recommend fppt because it is reliable (no viruses or excessive ads) and it's free :)
2. Download the zip file, then extract only the powerpoint file by dragging it out from the zip file onto your desktop.



3. Double click to open the pptx file and then go to the 'Design' tab (It is on the same row as your File tab)

This screenshot should show you steps 3 to 7 :) Click on pic to enlarge.
4. There should be a box in the middle whereby it shows the saved slide designs that you already have. Okay, now click the little downward arrow with a line at the pointy part on the side of the box to expand that box.

5. There are 3 options at the bottom of the expanded box. Choose the 'save current theme' option.

6. Save it with whatever name you want.

7. Viola! You have successfully saved that slide design for future use. (P/S: You may proceed by deleting the extracted pptx file as well as the zip file)



The saved theme will appear under the subtitle: Custom themes
