Changing the Text Layout of Your Page

Tip

If you create an additional team site and you want to change the theme for that site (but not the top-level site), click the tab for the new team site before you click Site Actions.

Office 365 processes your changes and displays the team site with the new theme selection in place. You can change your site theme as often as you like until you settle on a style you want to keep.

The layout also affects the way tools appear in the columns on the page, which of course affects how easily (or not) your team can find what they need. There’s no single overarching text layout feature that affects all the pages you create; instead, you need to choose the layout for each page independently. If you’ve been browsing the Web for any length of time, you have no doubt seen all kinds of layout styles, and some work better than others, depending on what publishers want to accomplish with their sites. Some are packed with information three or four columns wide; others are more open and might have a huge graphic front and center on the
