If you intend to change your current theme, switch to a different one, or create a new theme, you may find the Design tab in Word or the Page Layout tab in Excel as the right place to start.

Change Theme color in Office

First off, open a new document, choose the ‘Designs’ tab, click the drop-down arrow of ‘Colors’ and pick the color of your choice.

Now, if you would like to create your own set of colors, choose ‘Customize Colors’ option. Next, from the customize colors window that opens up, click the button adjacent to the theme color of your choice (for example, Accent 1 or Hyperlink), and then pick a color under ‘Theme Colors’.

For creating a customized or your own new color,  click ‘More Colors’ and pick a color on the Standard tab or enter numbers on the Custom tab.

In the Name box, type a name for the new theme colors, and then click Save.

Change default Font in Office

For changing the default fonts, click on the Design tab, then ‘Fonts’ and pick the font set you want.

For creating your own set of fonts, select the ‘Customize Fonts’ option. Then, if the ‘Create New Theme Fonts’ box is displayed, choose desired fonts under the Heading font and Body font boxes.

Next, as earlier, in the ‘Name’ box, enter a name, and click Save.

Save the Custom Theme for use in Microsoft Office

For this, click on the Design tab, click Themes > Save Current Theme.

In the File name box, enter a name for the theme, and click Save.

Set New Default Themes in Office

On the Design tab, click Set as Default. You can follow the similar procedure using the Page Layout tab in Excel. Hope you enjoy the change!
