Among the features of Microsoft's "PowerPoint" presentation software is that it allows you to customize your presentation to specifications you set, in terms of slide background, font style, size and color and any multimedia you want to integrate. If you're not feeling or are simply short on time, however, use one of Microsoft's pre-designed themes to add flair to your presentation without as much work — and, if you choose, apply a theme to only one slide.
