A Word about Themes
• MS Office Help states:– Document themes are shared across Office
programs so that all of your Office documents can have the same, uniform look.
• This feature makes designing the screen “easy” (dumbs it down).
• Everything looks the same. Translation: boring!

• Didn’t we say that PP has the power to hold learner attention? It also has the ability to lose attention and bore an audience, depending how skillfully you use it.
