save background style for reuse

[scoxbike]

I have a presentation that has a background style that I'd like to be able to
reuse in future presentations. How can I save this style so that I can begin
a new presentation and select that saved background style? I'm using
PowerPoint 2007. I believe that my terminology is correct in my specifying
background style rather than the older design template and as opposed to the
new concept of themes.

The background styles are saved as part of the themes. You can use the file
you have and save it as a PPTX or POTX or even THMX and apply it as a theme
or template to another presentation. Or you can just open it and Save As and
use it again.
