The background can be plain white, a solid or gradient color fill, a texture or pattern fill, or a picture. When you change to a different theme, the background is replaced.

When any of these elements is formatted manually, that formatting overrides the theme. For example, if your presentation uses the Courier font and you manually format some of the text as Tahoma, reapplying or changing the theme will not affect the text that is Tahoma. To return manually formatted elements to the theme settings, see the following steps. Make your text use the theme font. Each theme has two sets of fonts, one for headings and another for body text. If your text is a heading, use the Theme Headings font. Otherwise, use the Theme Body font. 4

If you cannot select an object or text on a slide, modify the slide master. 2. On the Home tab, under Font, click the arrow next to the font box. 3. To change text to a theme font, click the Theme Headings font or the Theme Body font. A check mark shows that the Theme Headings font or the Theme Body font is selected. Restore theme layouts If you apply a theme and some slides do not change to theme layouts, the layouts were probably changed manually. For example, if you move a heading to a different place on the slide or change the position of a table, those items have manually formatted layouts that do not change when the theme changes. 1. Click the item that you want to restore to the theme layout, such as a repositioned heading. 2. On the Home tab, under Slides, click Layout, and then click Reset Layout to Default Settings. Change the theme of selected slides Sometimes a presentation contains a slide or two that does not work well with some themes. For example, if you have a diagram or flow chart that takes up most of the slide, you might not want design elements or background colors to take up room or to distract from the rest of the slide. 1. Hold down and in the navigation pane, click the slides you want to change the theme on. 5
