Themes and Templates

[SuzyQ]

I am in the process of converting all my company's templates into 2007. I
have been looking at the theme concept for setting up a standard colour theme
for our corporate colours.

While this is working lovely on my test computer. How will I get this
working for all users? I can't seem to work out where the themes get saved.
Can you attach it to a template? I had hoped to build it into a Global
template that I have for styles/shortcuts/standard information.

**Before anyone suggests it I have an IT department that doesn't even
believe in customising Normal to our corporate font! So I don't have that
avenue open to me.

Hello Susan

I am in the process of converting all my company's templates into 2007. I
have been looking at the theme concept for setting up a standard colour theme
for our corporate colours.

While this is working lovely on my test computer. How will I get this
working for all users? I can't seem to work out where the themes get saved.
Can you attach it to a template? I had hoped to build it into a Global
template that I have for styles/shortcuts/standard information.

**Before anyone suggests it I have an IT department that doesn't even
believe in customising Normal to our corporate font! So I don't have that
avenue open to me.

I don't believe (much) in customizing Normal, either. I'd prefer to
leave Normal alone, and standardize the individual templates.

That said, since you're talking not only colors, but also fonts: why not
creat a whole new Design? When you save this, you get a prompt and my
Word 2007 (Vista here) defaults to

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates\Document
Themes\Design1.thmx
