Although PowerPoint enables you to edit the fill, lines, and effects attributes of a shape, this is a time consuming task that may involve trying out different combinations of each attribute. Even then, the final look may not match the Theme of the presentation. That’s the reason why Shape Styles is such a special feature since all you need to do choose any of these prebuilt styles, and you get an instant makeover! These styles are all Theme-specific, so if the presentation Theme is changed – you’ll end up with new Shape Styles.
