Closer Look - Templates Presentation templates automatically populate your file with pre-defined slides related to the template's topic. Example: Recipe book template

Themes A theme is a pre-defined combination of colors, fonts, effects and layouts that can be applied to your presentation with just one click. They can be displayed by clicking the Theme button in the Tool bar.

Layouts Slide layouts pre-determine how content, such as text and images, are arranged on a slide.
