SYMPTOMS
When you create a new custom color scheme, you cannot add it as a Standard Scheme without applying it to all of the slides in your presentation.



WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior, you can create one or more custom color schemes in the Edit Color Schemes dialog box and reapply the standard scheme for your presentation.

To do this, follow these steps:
 * 1) On the Format menu, click Slide Design.
 * 2) Make note of the color scheme you are currently using on the presentation.
 * 3) Click Edit Color Schemes.
 * 4) On the Custom tab, customize the color scheme.
 * 5) Click Add As Standard Scheme.
 * 6) Repeat steps 4 and 5 if you want to create more custom color schemes.
 * 7) Click the Standard tab.
 * 8) Click the color scheme preview that you made note of in step 2.
 * 9) Click Apply.

The custom schemes that you defined in the steps above are now available in the color schemes pane.



MORE INFORMATION
When you create a new custom color scheme in the Edit Color Scheme dialog box, and then click Add As Standard Scheme, the new custom scheme appears in the Color schemes list on the Standard tab of the Edit Color Scheme dialog box, but it does not appear in the Slide Design task pane.

When you click Apply, the new custom color scheme appears in the Apply a color scheme list of the Slide Design task pane, and it is applied to all of the slides in the presentation.
