Personalize the presentation with your business name or other text on the loading screen instead. Open a presentation in PowerPoint, and save and publish the presentation to your computer to copy the files locally. When you've finished, click Save as, and type a name for your custom theme in the dialog that displays. Click OK to save the theme and include it in the Theme list for future use (Figure 64b).
