Changing the Theme
You can change a slide’s theme at any time by selecting it and choosing another theme
using the Themes button in the toolbar. To retain formatting changes you’ve already
made, or to change a whole slideshow’s theme, follow these steps.
To change a slide’s or a slideshow’s theme:
1 In the slide navigator, select the slide or slides whose theme you want to change. (If
you want to change all slides, skip this step.)
2 Click Themes in the toolbar and choose Theme Chooser.
3 Select a new theme.
4 If you made formatting changes that you don’t want to keep in the new theme (for
example, if you made body text brown but you want the text to use the new theme’s
text color), deselect “Retain changes to theme defaults.”
5 Choose All Slides or Selected Slides from the Apply Theme To pop-up menu.
You can use multiple themes in the same slideshow by applying a new theme to only
some of the slides.
6 Click Choose to apply the new theme.
To return a slide to its theme defaults, select the slide and choose Format > Reapply
Master to Slide.
Using Multiple Themes
You can use multiple themes in a slideshow to visually segregate slides into groups.
To use different themes for different slides in your slideshow:
1 In the slide navigator, select the slide or slides you want to have a different theme.
(Shift-click or Command-click to select multiple slides.)
2 Click Themes in the toolbar and choose a new theme.
You can also click Themes in the toolbar, choose Theme Chooser, and then choose
Selected Slides from the Apply Theme To pop-up menu.
Applying a New Master to a Slide
You can change a slide’s master at any time. For example, you might want to change a
Photo master from horizontal to vertical.
To quickly choose another master, select the slide whose master you want to change,
click Masters in the toolbar, and then choose a different master slide.
You can also use the Slide Inspector to change a slide’s master.
