Themes determine the basic design of your slides. You can easily choose a theme when you start a new project. But, this video shows how you can also change the theme later, after you've done some work in a PowerPoint file. Explore how to switch themes and use different color variants.
- [Nick] Welcome to PowerPoint Tips Weekly,…I'm Nick Brazzi.…When you create a PowerPoint presentation,…you start by choosing the theme…which determines the overall design of your slides,…the color palette, fonts, accent graphics and so on.…You may start with a blank theme or something…with a more interesting style.…In this week's PowerPoint Tips,…I want to talk about changing the theme…after you've done some work in your presentation.…So, I'm here in a presentation and I've done some work…in a very basic, sparse theme.…In the Home ribbon, I could add a new slide,…or I could even change the layout of individual slides…by going to this Slide Layout button.…
But in either case, these layout options…are tied to the theme that's been applied…to this presentation.…To actually change the theme for the presentation,…I'll need to go to the Design ribbon.…So, I'm going to click on Design up here at the top…of the screen to go to the Design ribbon,…and here I can see the theme that is currently enabled…for this presentation.…
