Share a template and theme with other users
I have created several templates which include themes with special font sets,
colors, etc. I would like to share these with others. Will the template carry the theme information with it when I transfer it to another user's computer (via email, flash drive, etc.)? Or do I need to do something special to make the theme work correctly on another computer? Also, if I create a document using a template with themes, and then send that document to someone else, will my formatting change at all? |

Share a template and theme with other users
The formatting applied to a template will be preserved if you share the
template with someone else. However, if you want to share the actual theme with other users, so that they can apply it to other documents, they will have to copy the theme files to their computers. A theme may include several files; one is the actual theme (*.thmx) but there are also files for custom colors, fonts, and effects. Look in the Document Themes folder (within your Templates folder at %appdata%\Microsoft\Templates). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Harsh Melon" wrote in message ...
