If you already installed Theme Builder and created a new theme by playing around, you might get disappointed to learn that PowerPoint complains about the theme files you created being corrupt.
That’s because a theme you create from scratch only includes the parameters you add, and these parameters might not be complete. For instance, it is possible you added some info on how you want the backgrounds to look, but left out the part about effects, fonts, or fills. Naturally, PowerPoint expects to find information about all the parameters and thus complains that the theme file is corrupt.

Theme Builder is an application created by Microsoft to create and edit themes. The full name of the application is Microsoft Theme Builder, but for reasons of simplicity, we’ll call it Theme Builder throughout this series of pages. As of now, Theme Builder is a Windows only application, but any Themes edited and created within this application work in Mac versions of Office too.
To learn more, choose your version of PowerPoint. If we do not have a tutorial for your version of PowerPoint, explore the version closest to the one you use.

PowerPoint uses a variety of built-in Themes that are installed by default. Themes can also be saved from within Microsoft Word and Excel (version 2010) in the same way it is done in PowerPoint. In both of these programs, Themes are found in a tab location different from that of PowerPoint.
