From the themes menu, each of these thumbnails represents a different PowerPoint template. To change one of these themes, you can simply click on one of the thumbnails and you'll see it change in your presentation. 

PowerPoint comes with a number of themes built in, but if you want more check out some of the top PPT templates available on GraphicRiver. I've got several installed on my computer and I can choose from them.

2. Review All the PowerPoint Themes You Have Installed

After I click on a new theme, I'll just review my presentation to make sure that it's looking great with new theme applied. Another way that you can see all of your PowerPoint themes that you have installed is to, press this little dropdown arrow, and all of the thumbnails for them will show.
