Changing a Slide’s Theme
If you’re creating slideshows with many “chapters” or subheadings, you can use
multiple themes in a slideshow to visually separate slides into chapters or topics. Or,
you may want to change the theme of your entire slideshow or only a few
individual slides.
It’s easy to change the theme of one or more slides at a time, and the slide will take on
all the attributes of its new theme.
However, if you’ve made formatting changes to a slide that you want to retain, or
if you want to change the theme for all of your slides, you can choose to retain the
custom formatting. But if you’ve made formatting changes to a slide that you want to
get rid of, you can reapply the theme’s default settings.
To change a slide’s theme:
Select the slide and click Themes in the toolbar, and then choose a new theme.

To return a slide to its theme default settings:

this step.

Click Themes in the toolbar and choose Theme Chooser.
