Changing text labels in a theme

Text labels are the words that appear in a theme, such as button text and tab names. You can edit 
text labels in a theme at any time. 

In this example, the pane text has been changed to Summary, Images, Comments, and Find.

To change text labels in a theme:

1.

In PowerPoint, open a presentation (PPT file).

2.

From the Breeze menu, select Theme Editor.

The Theme Editor dialog box appears.

3.

Click the Text Labels button.

4.

Click the Language pop-up menu and select a language for the text labels.

Note: 

Breeze presentations detect the language of a user’s operating system and automatically 

display the text labels in the user’s native language if their computer’s language is set to German, 
French, Korean, or Japanese. Otherwise, English text labels appear.

5.

As necessary, change the text labels for any element of the presentation theme. For example, you 
can change the text that displays on buttons or panes.

6.

Click OK.

The theme preview on the right side of the Theme Editor dialog box is updated to reflect your 
choices.

7.

Click OK.
