Both PowerPoint 2010 and PowerPoint 2007 show the name of the active Theme for a presentation within the Status Bar. We look for a similar option within the PowerPoint 2013 interface. Note that there is no Theme name displayed on the Status Bar. However you can reinstate the Theme name.

Comments Off on Themes Basics: Display Theme Name in PowerPoint
The whole idea of Office Themes (since Office 2007) is to provide a coordinated look in Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, and PowerPoint slides. Beyond that, the Themes also influence objects such as tables and charts in these applications. Newer versions of Microsoft Office extend the concept of Office Themes to other Office applications including Outlook, Access, Publisher, Visio, OneNote, etc. In addition, Themes are also supported in both Office 2008 and 2011 for Mac.

Comments Off on Themes Basics: Which Themes are Installed within Office Versions?
Have you wondered where the Themes and templates you save from within PowerPoint or other Office applications are located? Remember that your custom Themes and templates location is different than the location where PowerPoint’s built-in Office Themes are saved.
The location for these Themes and templates is important because you may want to share these with colleagues, clients, friends, or family. If you know where you can find these Themes and templates, you can make sure that they are copied to corresponding folders on other computers. And if you are a template designer or even a sysadmin at a large company, this information can be invaluable.
