Use the Page Layout ➪ Themes ➪ Colors control to select a different set of colors. And, if
you’re so inclined, you can even create a custom set of colors by choosing Page Layout ➪
Themes ➪ Colors ➪ Create Theme Colors. This command displays the dialog box shown in
Figure 13-5. Note that each theme consists of 12 colors. Four of the colors are for text and
backgrounds, six are for accents, and two are for hyperlinks. As you specify different col-
ors, the Preview panel in the dialog box is updated.
Figure 13-5: If you’re feeling creative, you can specify a set of custom colors for a theme.
Theme effects operate on graphical elements, such as SmartArt, shapes, and charts. You
can’t customize theme effects.
If you customize a theme by using different fonts or colors, you can save the new theme by
choosing Page Layout ➪ Themes ➪ Save Current Theme. Your customized themes appear
in the theme list in the Custom category. Other Office 2007 applications, such as Word and
PowerPoint, can use these theme files.
