this in the preamble or is there a better way?
I assume you want to use one of the supplied themes (as opposed to
rolling your own). Just put \usetheme{Madrid} (or whatever theme
you want) in the preamble.
Thanks - yes, that's what I did. I just wondered if there was another
way.
Not that I know of. If you're going to do a lot of beamer presentations
with the same theme, you might want to do one of the following: create a
base document with the theme command in the preamble and save it as a
template; or write a little module that loads the preamble commands.
It's probably not worth the effort if it's just the theme, but you might
have other tweaks (preamble commands, changes to the bases fonts, ...)
that you want in the boilerplate. For instance, I usually include a
preamble command to tell Acrobat Reader to close the table of contents
(which otherwise is open by default IIRC) and open the document full screen.
