In PowerPoint you can apply themes to your presentation slides to apply a consistent appearance to presentation elements. This can be useful for more formal presentations for school or business. In this post, we will discuss how to apply themes to presentations in PowerPoint 2013.
1. You can change the theme used by your presentation slides by selecting a choice from the preset themes shown in the “Themes” button group on the “Design” tab in the Ribbon.
2. You can hold your mouse pointer over the choices to see a preview of how they will appear when applied to the slides. You can then click the one you want to select to apply it.
3. You can also select a variant of the selected theme by holding your mouse pointer over the variants of the selected theme shown in the “Variants” button group. As you roll your mouse pointer over the choices, you will see a preview of how they will appear when applied to the presentation slides. You can then click a choice to apply it to the theme.
4. You can change the color scheme, fonts, and effects used by your theme. You can do this by clicking the “More” button in the lower-right corner of the scrollable list of choices shown in the “Variants” button group on the “Design” tab in the Ribbon to display a drop-down menu of choices. Then roll over either the “Colors,” “Fonts,” or “Effects” commands in the drop-down menu. As you roll your mouse pointer over the choices shown for each button, you will see a preview of how they will appear when applied to the presentation slides. You can then click a choice to apply it to the theme.
