creating, presenting, and sharing presentations

• Themes allow a consistent look and feel to be
applied to the presentation, applying a common
background, font style and layout throughout the
presentation with a single operation.
• Themes come with variations, which make it
simpler to hone in on the look you want. And
when you’re working with others, you can add
comments to ask questions and get feedback.
