What is the Excel Theme Guide?

The Excel Theme Guide is a 14-page, printable reference that shows how to design Excel reports around a single central theme — so you can update every color and font at once. It's part style guide, part lesson in how Excel themes actually work.

What's included

  • A 14-page Excel guidelines document in a printable format
  • One central theme that controls all colors and fonts
  • A tutorial/course video explaining the principles and updates

How it works

Change your theme's colors and fonts and the whole document updates in one move. An included overview-and-tutorial video walks through the core principles and how to make changes.

Who it's for

Anyone building their own Excel design guidelines or documentation — and anyone who wants to finally understand Excel themes.
