Working with Themes

Themes in PowerPoint provide a suite of design settings that give your slides a consistent look and feel. You can apply a theme with a single action, putting in place background graphics and colors, font and font size settings, and a layout. The gallery of themes located on the Design tab helps you preview and choose the best look for your presentation easily.

You can find additional themes online. Because nearly everybody who creates PowerPoint presentations picks from the same set of built-in themes, at some point you may want to show folks something entirely new. Finding updated themes becomes a way to differentiate your presentation.
