Stephy Hogan used to be a total design snob until she was thrust into the world of presentation design. Ever since she has been passionately evangelizing the field in an attempt to elevate the industry as high as its other design counterparts. She is also a web developer and believes that user experience isn’t limited to the internet and its principles apply just as strongly to presentations. She has been a designer in marketing and communications for a variety of places from small non-profits to Fortune 500 companies since 2002. Stephy is a founding board member of the Presentation Guild, a facilitator for Duarte, Inc., and a Certified Presentation Specialist.

Theme Fonts comprise a pair of font choices, one each for your slide titles (Heading font) and the other for everything else on your slides (Body font). You can use existing Theme Fonts available in PowerPoint or even create them on your own. Additionally, you can opt to edit existing Theme Font pairs (sets).

Super Themes in PowerPoint actually contain 8 Themes in all. This typically includes 4 widescreen (16:9) variations, and also 4 standard (4:3) variations. We navigated to the folder where Office Themes built-in within PowerPoint are typically stored.

THMX actually stands for an Office Theme Document file. However, what it hides is more important in this case than what it stands for. A THMX file and any of the new file formats that Office 2007 and later use are actually XML based file formats. Also they are more like a wrapper that contain many disparate and related elements.

A PPTX file or any of the new file formats that Office 2007 and later use such as POTX or THMX are different than the older binary file formats such as PPT. That’s because these new file formats that end with an “X” are essentially XML based file formats.
Even more interesting is the fact that the actual file is not an XML based file but only a wrapper that contain many disparate and related XML based elements. The wrapper technology used is just simple ZIP technology. If you want to edit Office XML files, you will therefore need to unzip, edit, and finally zip the file. Alternatively, you can perform XML Editing within Visual Studio 2010.
