You'll have to create a scheme in 2007 that does what you want and then
apply it to the PPT file.

As you've seen, you have more options in 2007 for the colors, and they don't
exactly map 1:1 with the 2003 color schemes. So go to the Design tab, choose
Colors, then Create New Color Scheme and make one that will mimic the 2003
color scheme. Name it something meaningful. Then when you open the PPT file
in 2007, go to Colors and choose the color scheme you created.

When I open a 2003 PPT file in PPT 2007 I notice the theme colors do not
match the original color scheme exactly. Do I have to manually set the
colors to match in PPT 2007. It places the hyperlink & followed hyperlink
in
the last two slots, and makes new colors for Accent 3,4,5,6. I need the
PPT
2007 file to follow the original scheme, any additional info on
compatibility
problems would be appreciated.

THX!
