A alluring address in our print inspired community - Palo Alto - is a standout. Palo Alto was designed, like our Tokyo and OM themes, in the tradition of great print layouts - with eye-catching blocks of vivid color and type. It's Silicon Valley smart with Bay-area style.

A Visible Framework.
The regions of the print-inspired Palo Alto layouts are visibly divided, accented with tones of both printing and technology, such as registration marks and OCR feeder guides.

Palo Alto is a supremely adaptable general-purpose theme, with a clean, business-casual aesthetic - equally at home with shareholder reports and abstract art. The core of the design, sharp contrasts of color and white space, with a blend of reversed and neutral type - is surrounded by a visible framework of structure and subtle print-inspired visual accents. The eye-catching, contemporary palette is easy to discern from every corner of the room - bringing your charts, tables and SmartArt Graphics to life with a colorful edge. And with a wide range of text and photo masters at your disposal - including eye-catching mosaics and narrative-driven layouts - you've got tremendous flexibility built right in.

Want to take it even further? The entire Palo Alto framework has been optimized for the PowerPoint THMX architecture - so you can change the fonts or running color scheme to any of the other theme presets provided with Microsoft Office - even your own corporate palette or typeface - and make the theme uniquely yours with unprecedented speed and ease. Our style or your own: you'll look great either way, and can leave the power-tie at home.

Crisp, Clean & Modern.
Palo Alto offers you a wide range of text and photo-oriented layout options, with unique photo accents and magazine-styled layouts that speak to the theme's print-inspired heritage.

The Slides

Palo Alto includes 39 Slide Masters - a mix of both photo-oriented layouts and additional specialized text layouts. The layouts are clean and contemporary, with geometric bullets and a highly discernable palette. Eye-catching mosaic, multi-image and narrative-driven slides break your Palo Alto presentations out of the usual bullet-driven box, giving you extensive flexibility from the very first slide.

The Big Picture: Palo Alto HD.

Palo Alto HD, available exclusively in the Palo Alto Pro Edition, expands the style into HD format with an aspect-optimized 16:9 / 16:10 version of the Palo Alto theme tailored for high-definition display - so you can take advantage of an HD monitor or a next-generation HD projection system as target presentation platforms without the "dead space" associated with running traditional standard-definition presentations on an HD display.

The Power of THMX

Thanks to Microsoft Office's THMX architecture, Palo Alto is more than your ordinary PowerPoint template. The THMX architecture blows the doors off the 3-Master-Slide basics of classic PowerPoint - enabling a wide range of specialty and use-driven layouts to be built directly into the theme. Theme-wide color, font and effects settings ensure that your charts, tables and SmartArt Graphics are consistently styled from slide to slide, and since Palo Alto is fully THMX-compliant, you can change the fonts or running color scheme to any of the other theme presets provided with Microsoft Office - even your own corporate palette or typeface - with a single click. Thanks to the power of THMX and Palo Alto, your presentation will be wrapped in a professional-grade look that'll get you noticed every time.
