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

    There is no known solution at the user level so adding another me too reply to the length of this thread accomplishes nothing. If it is of concern please do as Jim Gordon indicated & send Feedback to Microsoft.

    Personally, I don't mind the occasional "me too" reply even though they are not good etiquette.

    I don't know what regular forum users see, but I can tell you this question has 60 views at the moment, which tells me quite a few people have experienced the problem.

    It's important that everyone who is affected send in a trouble report. Multiple trouble reports let Microsoft know the problem is widespread and is being felt by many people.

    To send in a report, use the Menu Bar and choose Help > Feedback > I Don't Like Something. Don't expect a personal reply, but know that each report is tabulated and helps set priority for fixing.

    Hello Guys! I have figured out at last how to get the themes back:

    open your finder screen

    click on go

    Press the alt key to get the library option

    open library

    go to the group container

    find and click on UBF8T346G9.Office

    Click on User Content

    Then go into Themes and paste the themes

    I have the themes that were already installed in PowerPoint but I was not able to paste them over here
