Which path in Word would you use to apply a theme to ensure consistent formatting?

• A. Home > Paragraph > Indentation
• B. View > Outline
• C. Design > Fonts
• D. Design > Themes

Answer: (D)

Applying a theme in Word creates a coordinated look by standardizing fonts, colors, and effects across the document, so formatting stays consistent from start to finish. The best path is Design > Themes because this opens a gallery of complete theme sets that simultaneously apply fonts, color schemes, and effects to headings, body text, charts, and more.

Other options don’t achieve the same scope: adjusting indentation changes how text is spaced in paragraphs, not the overall style; outlining is a view for structuring content and doesn’t impose formatting; selecting Fonts from Design affects only the font choices, not the full color and effect scheme. So Design > Themes is the correct route for uniform formatting.
