# Using Document Themes

Theme is the concept of bundling color, font and format settings. The colors, fonts and format settings names are fixed in the document. When switching themes in the document, the elements containing the fixed names switch colors, fonts and format settings accordingly to the new theme.

## To Use a Document Theme

1. Format the document using the fixed theme attribute name such as colors, fonts and other format settings.

2. Apply the theme to the document.

## To Apply a Theme to the Document

1. Choose Format - Themes.

2. Double-click on the theme desired or select the theme and click OK

All document elements with the fixed theme attribute name set will change to the new theme attribute. For example, a heading with font color set as "Dark 2" changes to the new theme "Dark 2" color.

## To Add a New Theme

1. Choose Format - Theme and click on Add.

2. Enter a name for the new theme in the Name text box.

3. On the color area, choose the base color for each of the 12 fixed color names of the theme.

   Theme colors consist of a set of twelve base colors, each with five internally calculated variations. These colors are defined solely by their RGB values, and saved to the document file. An object’s color can be assigned by referencing a color from the Theme colors set, either by keyword or index, depending on the context. The base color names are

   - Dark 1, Light 1, Dark 2, Light 2,

   - Accent 1, Accent 2, Accent 3, Accent 4, Accent 5, Accent 6,

   - Hyperlink, FollowedHyperlink

4. Click OK to close the color dialog.

5. Click OK or double click the new theme to apply the theme to the document.
