CHAPTER 3

Using Themes and Templates

PowerPoint’s preset themes, templates, and layouts make it easy to create presentations with a consistent look and feel. You can use built-in themes or choose from hundreds of themes online. Although you can design your own slide templates by applying backgrounds and graphics as well as formatting elements on master slides manually, people most commonly use themes and templates to develop presentations.
