Customize Themes

A document you create in Word is based on the Normal.dotm template.

This template provides your document with default layout, formatting, styles, and theme formatting.

The default template also provides a number of built-in or predesigned themes.

You have used some of these built-in themes to apply colors, fonts, and effects to your documents.


Customize Themes…continued

The default theme in Word is Office. To change the theme of a document, you can select

one of the built-in themes or create your own custom theme.

A theme is a combination of colors, fonts, and effects. You can use the buttons in the Themes group to

change any of the three elements within a theme.



The buttons in the Themes group in the Page Layout tab display a visual representation of the current theme.

For example, the Themes button displays an uppercase and lowercase A with color squares below.

If you change the theme colors, the colors are reflected in the small color squares on the Themes button as well as in the four squares in the Theme Colors button.

If you change the theme fonts, the As on the Themes button as well as the uppercase A on the Theme Fonts button reflect the change.

Format with Styles

A style is a set of formatting instructions that you can apply to text.

Word provides a number of predesigned styles. The program puts styles that apply similar formatting into groups called Quick Styles sets.

While a theme changes the overall colors, fonts, and effects used in a document, a Quick Styles set changes how the colors, fonts, and effects are combined and determines which ones are dominant.


Format with Styles…continued

The default Quick Styles set is Word 2010. The styles in this set are available in the Quick Style list in the Styles group in the Home tab.

Several styles display as thumbnails, or miniature representations, in the Quick Style list in the Styles group.

Generally, these style thumbnails include the Normal, No Spacing, Heading 1, Heading 2, and Title styles.



Word also provides many other Quick Styles sets. You have used some of these sets in previous chapters to apply formatting to your documents.

The styles in a Quick Styles set apply formatting including colors and fonts. You can change the colors or fonts applied by the styles in a set by using the Colors and Fonts options at the Change Styles drop-down list.

However, because the styles in a set are designed to complement one another, it is usually best not to change them.



To change the Quick Styles set default:1. Change the desired

Quick Styles set, colors, fonts, and/or paragraph spacing.

2. Click the Change Styles button in the Styles group.

3. Click the Set as Default option at the drop-down list.

Judy Peterson

I tried to remove the italics in Question 4 for the numbered list a., b., c., and d. (but keep the italics for the actual answers). I couldn't do this in PowerPoint. I could do it in Word, but when I copied and pasted Word's correctly formatted bulleted list, PowerPoint converted a., b., c., and d. to italics! I'm guessing this isn't a big issue, though...just thought I'd try conforming to standards.
