"Applying a PowerPoint 2007 Theme To The Presentation"

PowerPoint 2007 Theme is a way of applying different designs to the presentation. A theme (or design themes) includes a slide background graphic, color and font choices, and graphic effect settings.

Some themes are built into PowerPoint so that they are always available; other themes are available only when you use certain templates, or when you specifically apply them from an external file.

To apply a theme from the Gallery

• Select the slide(s) that you wish to apply the theme.
• On the Design tab, in the Themes group, if the theme you want appears, click it, and skip the rest of these steps.
• If the theme you want does not appear, you will need to open the gallery by clicking on the More button (left to the Effects icon) in the Themes group.

• The Themes gallery opens as shown below. The gallery is divided into sections with the current presentation appear at the top; custom themes you have added appear next and Built-in themes appear at the bottom.
• Click the theme you want to apply and it will show in the slide.

To apply a theme from a theme or template file

• Select the slide(s) that you wish to apply the theme.
• On the Design tab, in the Themes group, click on the More button to open the Themes gallery.
• From the Themes gallery dialog box, click Browse for Themes. The Choose Theme or Themed Document dialog box opens.
• Browse to the folder containing the file and select it.
• Click Apply.

To apply a PowerPoint 2007 theme to a new presentation

• From the Office Button, click Open. The Open dialog box appears.
• From the Open dialog box displayed, open the File Type list and choose Office Themes.
• Navigate to the location containing the theme and select it. Custom themes are stored by default in:
