Microsoft PowerPoint 2016 Step by Step

Apply themes

SEE ALSO  For information about creating themes and custom theme elements, see “Create custom themes” in Chapter 12, “Create custom presentation elements.”

When you’re working in Normal view you can use the Live Preview feature to see how your presentation would look with a different theme applied. Simply point to any theme and pause. PowerPoint temporarily applies the selected formatting to the slide in the Slide pane. This makes it easy to try different themes and theme elements until you find the ones you want.
