Type in the themes that you would like to use. When you have finished entering in themes, close the Edit Themes box by clicking on the small box in the upper left hand corner of the Edit Themes Box.
Assigning Themes to a Concept
In order to assign themes to the concepts you have entered on the diagram, select the concepts you want to assign a theme to. When the concept or concepts have been highlighted with four small boxes in the corners, click on the "Assign theme to Concept" under the Concepts box (Figure 92).

The Themes dialog box will appear and ask you to select the theme that you wish to assign to the selected concept. The third option, "Remove Theme" allows you to remove a previously established theme from a selected concept.
Activating Themes
Once you have assigned themes to the concepts you wish to, you can activate the themes by selecting the "Activate Themes" item under the "Concepts" menu. (Figure 93) Choose the theme you wish to activate and click "OK"

Click on "OK" You will then see a color chart that will allow you to assign a color to the theme you wish to activate. Click on the color square of the color that you wish to assign to the theme you are going to activate. You will see the dots surrounding the word "Done" become the color you have chosen. When you are finished selecting a color, click on the word "Done". All of the concepts that you have selected for a particular theme will now be color-blocked with the color that corresponds to the chosen theme.
