00:00:11.540 --> 00:00:15.860
You're already using a theme in your Word
documents, even if you don't know it.

00:00:15.860 --> 00:00:20.360
The default Office theme is where this color
palette comes from;

00:00:20.360 --> 00:00:23.560
also your theme fonts;

00:00:23.560 --> 00:00:27.930
and last but not least, shape styles.

00:00:27.930 --> 00:00:30.310
How are themes different from styles?

00:00:30.310 --> 00:00:34.980
Well, styles actually pull from the theme
to give you different combinations to choose

00:00:34.980 --> 00:00:38.399
from, like coordinated titles and headings.

00:00:38.399 --> 00:00:42.840
Themes are what determine the overall look,
making it possible to change the tone of your

00:00:42.840 --> 00:00:44.590
document entirely.

00:00:44.590 --> 00:00:46.940
Let me show you what I mean.

00:00:46.940 --> 00:00:54.010
Let's go to the Page Layout tab, Themes, and
then mouse over for a preview.

00:00:54.010 --> 00:00:59.840
As you can see, the styles and theme elements
I've used are changing, including typeface,

00:00:59.840 --> 00:01:04.280
color - even the clipart I edited using the
theme color palette.

00:01:04.280 --> 00:01:06.930
This is one of my favorites.

00:01:06.930 --> 00:01:11.009
Keep in mind, applying a different theme will
only work if you take advantage of what they

00:01:11.009 --> 00:01:15.920
have to offer - including theme fonts, colors,
and shape styles.

00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:20.850
Other colors and fonts that you've chosen
yourself won't reflect the change.

00:01:20.850 --> 00:01:25.790
Let's say you like the fonts from one theme,
but the color scheme from another.

00:01:25.790 --> 00:01:30.170
You can actually mix and match themes to customize
your document.

00:01:30.170 --> 00:01:37.060
To change the color scheme, click the icon
here, and either choose from the list, or

00:01:37.060 --> 00:01:41.320
go to Create New Theme Colors to create something
of your own.

00:01:41.320 --> 00:01:47.090
I happen to like the colors from this theme
here just the way they are.

00:01:47.090 --> 00:01:51.620
If changing the font is more what you had
in mind, click the icon just below the color

00:01:51.620 --> 00:01:52.690
palette.

00:01:52.690 --> 00:01:58.270
Once again, you can create something new,
or choose from the list.

00:01:58.270 --> 00:02:03.440
Last, this little icon lets you swap out the
shape style.

00:02:03.440 --> 00:02:08.250
Some themes even have a picture or a pattern
for the fill color, like this one.

00:02:08.250 --> 00:02:12.810
I think I want something brighter, like this.

00:02:12.810 --> 00:02:16.189
I actually like this theme a lot - it's different,
it's fun.

00:02:16.189 --> 00:02:20.180
I'm going to go ahead and save it so I can
use it again.

00:02:20.180 --> 00:02:29.329
All you have to do is go to Themes, Save Current
Theme, and give it a name.

00:02:29.329 --> 00:02:32.230
All set!

00:02:32.230 --> 00:02:35.980
Now I can apply my theme to any of my other
documents.

00:02:35.980 --> 00:02:39.889
Themes are such a great way to experiment
with color, design, and the overall look and

00:02:39.889 --> 00:02:41.569
feel of your document.

00:02:41.569 --> 00:03:06.120
With so many ways to customize, you can really
make it your own!
