In Powerpoint, there are no themes under Design on the ribbon, except for one called Office. (And a dark version of same.)

If I choose File/New from Template, the top says Personal, and there is a folder called Office Themes. It appears that all the themes are in there.

Why, then, do they not show on the Design tab, so I can apply them to an existing presentation?

I don't know what to do??

**powerpoint version:**16.69.1

MacOS version: Big sur(11.7.3)

Microsoft 365 and Office | PowerPoint | For home | MacOS

    mine is the same its seems. Tried reinstalling Microsoft office and updating my computer software and still only simple office theme available without the many previous choices to make power point presentations more interesting/ eye catching. ( can still use designer function )

    Hi Azher

    MVP Bob Jones contacted me and pointed out that I might have misunderstood what is happening. I have 53 custom themes, so my Ribbon's Themes look fully populated.

    But you're right!

    The only theme I see for Office is just the Office theme. That's a bug! There should a whole bunch of themes there.

    Please take a moment to let the PowerPoint team know they have a bug to fix. In PowerPoint, use the Menu Bar and choose Help > Feedback > I Don't like something.

    If this is critical, you can restore the previous build of Microsoft PowerPoint.app in the Applications folder using Time Machine.

    That looks normal so, sorry I'm out of ideas.
