Hi guys,

I am struggling to identify ways in which I can create a custom theme for Word, PowerPoint and other MS Office documents?

Compared to Office for Windows, there is no Design and Theme tabs on Macs, so I wonder if this is possible at all.

Thank you and apologies for my ignorance.

In Mac Office 2008 they're referred to as "Document Themes" but aren't
implemented as fully as in 2007... specifically, "Effects" are not included.
See Help on themes in any of the Office apps as well as this on the Mactopia
web site:
