Use PowerPoint templates with Presenter

In Presenter presentations, the slide background is determined by settings in PowerPoint. You can customize the background of the slides in a presentation by using PowerPoint design templates. When you apply a design template, all slides in the presentation are assigned the design template background.

For example, you might create a presentation in PowerPoint using the design template named Technology, add the theme named Arctic in the Presenter Theme Editor, publish the presentation to Connect Enterprise Server, and view the presentation. You notice that the theme clashes with the slide background of the Technology design template.

Follow the procedure below that corresponds to the version of PowerPoint installed on your computer. (To check which version of PowerPoint you have, open PowerPoint, click the Help menu, and select About Microsoft PowerPoint.)
