Essentially Themes are like a style sheet for your Office documents. They define how your text appears, where it appears, and also the layouts of your slides. Themes also influence how charts look within Excel and PowerPoint, and also how your tables appear in all Office programs. You can also change the Theme for an Office document, sheet, or slide and watch how this simple task can change the overall appearance of your content.

Applying a Theme to All Slides in a Presentation

Applying a Theme to an existing presentation is easy, and you'll find that plenty of Themes are already contained inside Office 2016. In PowerPoint 2016, these Themes can be found within the Design tab of Ribbon, as you can see in Figure 1.

Follow these steps to apply a new Theme to a presentation:

  1. Open an existing presentation, or create a new one in PowerPoint 2016.
  2. Now access the Design tab of the Ribbon. As you can see in Figure 2, there are thumbnail previews of several Themes available within the Themes gallery. To view the Themes drop-down gallery that contains even more thumbnail previews, click the More button (highlighted in red within Figure 2).

  6. Now you have to just hover your mouse cursor over any of the thumbnails to see a Live Preview of the Theme on the open presentation. Once you have selected any of the Themes, click on it to apply. If you clicked by mistake, press Ctrl+Z to undo the last action.

Tip: You can also apply any PowerPoint presentation or template as a Theme, even if it doesn't show up within the Themes drop-down gallery. To do that, select the Browse for Themes option (highlighted in red within Figure 3, above) and navigate to wherever the given presentation, template, or Theme is located. Select it, and click the Apply button.

  3. With these slides selected, access the Design tab of the Ribbon. Choose any Theme within the Themes drop-down gallery, and right-click on the thumbnail of the Theme to bring up the context menu that you can see in Figure 4.

Applying Themes in Microsoft Word and Excel

The same Themes that you apply in PowerPoint can also be applied in Word and Excel. In both of these programs, the way of accessing Themes gallery is different from that of PowerPoint.

Follow these steps to apply a new Theme to a Word document or an Excel spreadsheet in 2016:

  1. Open an existing Word document or Excel spreadsheet, or create a new one.
  2. In Excel, access the Page Layout tab of the Ribbon, and click the Themes button, as shown highlighted in red within Figure 6.

Change Only Colors and Fonts?

When you apply a Theme in PowerPoint, you add a set of coordinated backdrops, layouts, fonts, effects, colors, etc. Let's just say you want to change just the colors and fonts, and retain everything else in your presentation. Can you do that? Sure you can! We'll show you how to do that in subsequent tutorials.
