Design themes are a new addition to PowerPoint 2007. They work in a similar way as the design templates in earlier versions of PowerPoint. A really nice feature of the design themes, is that you can immediately see the effect reflected on your slides, before making your decision.

Access the Design Ribbon

  • Click on the Design tab to access the Design ribbon.
  • Hover your mouse over any of the design themes shown.
  • The design is reflected immediately on your slide.
  • Click the design theme when you find one that suits your needs.
