How to Create Themes in PowerPoint
PowerPoint themes help bring your presentation to life through the use of colors and patterns. Microsoft provides more than 10 themes to all users; if you are unhappy with the offerings, alter a current theme to make it your own. Theme colors, fonts and the style of images can all be changed to your taste and the new theme saved for future use.
