How to Remove the PowerPoint 2007 Theme
A theme is a feature in PowerPoint used to control the formatting of several elements at one time. Your chosen theme will control the colors, fonts, styles and layout of various items on each of your slides. The idea behind themes is to make it easy for the user to create a presentation featuring elements that complement each other. Every time you choose a theme for a presentation, formatting options are preselected for you. Every color and style within a particular theme is designed to create a presentation that has a uniformed, polished look. The Office theme is the default theme applied to all new PowerPoint 2007 presentations. If this theme is not desired, the user will have to change the theme by using commands on the PowerPoint Ribbon at the top of screen.
