Modifying Themes

To select new theme fonts:

It's easy to apply a new set of theme fonts without changing a theme's overall look. The built-in theme fonts are designed to work well together, which can help to unify your presentation.

  1. From the Design tab, click the drop-down arrow in the Variants group.

  1. From the Design tab, click the drop-down arrow in the Variants group.
  2. Select Fonts, then click Customize Fonts.

  5. The presentation will update to show the new custom theme fonts.

Changing the theme fonts will not necessarily update all text in your presentation. Only text using the current theme fonts will update when you change the theme fonts.
