Themes and Background Styles A theme is a predefined combination of colors, fonts, and effects that can be applied to your presentation. PowerPoint includes built-in themes that allow you to easily create professional-looking presentations without spending a lot of time formatting. Each theme has additional background styles associated with it that can be applied to the slides to modify the theme. ThemesWatch the video! (7:50 min) - Tips for watching our videos. Download the example to work along with the video. About ThemesWhen you create a new presentation in PowerPoint there is a theme applied even though the slide background is white. This default theme is called the Office Theme. The Office Theme consists of a white background, and Calibri font of various sizes for titles and body text. You can apply a different theme to your slides before you add text or make changes to the default slide. An advantage of doing this is that the location of the text will not move. If you apply the theme after you enter text on the slides, the text boxes and placeholders may move depending on the theme you choose. Themes (cont.)You will need to know how to apply a theme and how to switch to a different theme if you want to use this feature to create presentations. All of the themes that come included in PowerPoint are located in the Themes group on the Design tab. To Apply a Theme:
You can access additional themes on Microsoft Office Online or create your own. Fonts that are changed with the font size and style menus will not change when you apply a new theme. Modify ThemesYou can also modify the current theme colors, fonts, and effects. For example, if you like the Urban theme, but would prefer to use more of the color red in the presentation, you can change the colors of the theme and create a new, custom theme. If you would prefer to use the font style Verdana so that your presentation font will match your company logo and materials, you can modify the font combination and save it.
