Customizing themes
Let's say you really like the fonts from one theme, but you'd like to experiment with different color schemes. Word allows you to mix and match the colors, fonts, and effects from different themes to create a unique look for your document. If it still doesn't look exactly right, you can customize the theme colors, fonts, and effects from the Design tab.
- To change the theme colors, click the Colors command. A drop-down menu will appear. Select the desired colors or select Customize Colors... to customize each color individually.
Choosing theme colors - To change the theme fonts, click the Fonts command. A drop-down menu will appear. Select the desired font or select Customize Fonts... to customize each font individually.
Choosing theme fonts - To change the theme effects, click the Effects command. A drop-down menu will appear. Select the desired effect from the menu.

When choosing theme colors, try to find a part of your document that uses several colors to get an idea of how the colors will look together.
