All content (such as text, tables, and SmartArt graphics) is dynamically linked to the theme, so changing the theme automatically changes the look of your content, unless you customize it. If you want a different default theme from the Office Theme, you can save time by pre-configuring your document with a different default theme. When you apply a new theme, Office Theme is replaced by a new look, such as the dark background and bright colors of the Metro theme.
