Same theme, two colour schemes

[Mary Ann]

Me again!
I want to be able to use the same theme throughout my presentation but use
two different colour schemes. I know I can right click on a colour scheme and
apply it to selected slides.
Is it possible to set it up so that when I insert a new slide I get the
choice to pick a layout and colour scheme (like you do if you have two
different themes in the same presentation)?
I am using PowerPoint 2007

You could add another slide master with that different color scheme. Then
you can just choose the appropriate one on the New Slide gallery.

Or you can add a second color scheme to the theme. You have to do this
manually, though. Here are instructions:

You'd still have to right-click it and choose it from the color dropdown.

Thankyou - I've created a second slide master with the colour scheme. I
noticed that when I applied the same theme to the new slide master I had to
take it from the Built in category again, not the This Presentation category.
Then I applied the second colour. Works as I wanted it to.
