I have only one template that I make with PowerPoint. That Theme is also
available in Word By Pages Layout/Themes, but I can't open that Template
in
Word.

Themes can be shared across Office 2007 applications, but not templates;
they are application-specific.

Someone in the "Discussions in Word General Questions" some one ask: In
word
2007, can I set a theme as the default theme for new documents?
And the answer was:
Yes. Open Normal.dotm, set the theme as desired, then save it. Thereafter,
new documents based on Normal.dotm will use that theme.
I Try that, and it works. So my first question is answered.

This is equivalent to what I suggested in my previous reply.

The only thing that I want to know is, can I change this setting for
everyone in our company so, that I don't have to copy the normal.dotm
(that I
make) to their normal.dotm. I want to do this for them, so that every one
has the standard style of our company!


The best solution is to distribute a template to all users, and have them
use it for the company documents. This can easily be done by the network
administrator via a log-in script, or the template can be manually copied
into each user's templates folder.

Open your template as a document (via the Open dialog box) and apply the
desired theme. Save and close the template file. The next time you create
a
file from that template, the chosen theme will be applied.

Hello,
I try to save a theme in word 2007, like I did that in PowerPoint 2007.
In
PowerPoint I can set the theme as a default theme, and if I open
PowerPoint,
I see the default Theme. It is saved in the document: C:\Documents and
Settings\Userprofile\Application Data\Microsoft\Sjablonen\Document
Themes\Default Theme.thmx. (Dutch language) I would like to think that
this
is also the default theme for other office 2007 product, but in Word,
it
doesn't work. Is there a way that I can set the default theme for Word?
If I open Word, I can save the style set, colors and Fonts and set that
as
default. These settings are saved in the normal.dotm. For every people
in
our
company, I want these default settings, but I don't want to copy the
normal.dotm (that I make) to their normal.dotm. I 'am afraid that they
lose
there own settings that they make and that are set in the normal.dotm.
So,
can I save the default settings on a different way for each person in
our
company?
