If you change the Document Theme or Color Theme, you may change the background of all of your slides. You can also apply a Font Theme, Color Theme, or Effect Theme by clicking the Design tab in the Ribbon, clicking the More arrow in Variants and then selecting one of the theme options. You can apply a theme in Normal View by clicking the Design tab in the Ribbon and then clicking a theme in the Themes gallery. Some themes may contain multiple slide masters which can be tricky to use. The Document Theme (or overall theme) includes a Font Theme, a Color Theme, an Effect Theme and a Slide Master with a set of layouts (typically one master set). It's important to understand that every PowerPoint presentation (or template) uses themes. In this article, we'll review applying color, gradient and picture backgrounds.

In PowerPoint, you can change the background of individual slides, selected slides based on a layout, or all slides based on a Slide Master.
