Applying Theme Fonts
When you normally apply a Theme in PowerPoint, you end up applying Theme Colors, Theme Fonts, Theme Effects, Theme Backdrops, and much more. However there are scenarios in which you really don't require such a complete makeover or metamorphosis. In that case, you can still apply Theme Colors and Theme Fonts and leave all other Theme attributes unchanged.
We showed you how you can apply a Theme in Office 2007 to a PowerPoint, Word, or Excel file. In this tutorial, we'll look at how you can apply Theme Colors and Theme Fonts in PowerPoint.
Remember, the galleries for applying Theme Colors and Theme Fonts can be found in the Design tab of the Ribbon. Click the Colors or Fonts options as shown in Figure 1.

You can also apply a Theme Color set to selected slides.

Then, choose the Apply to Selected Slides as shown in Figure 4.
