Themes in Word
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 doesnt 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 dont 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? |

Themes in Word
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. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Theodora" wrote in message ...

Themes in Word
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. 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. 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! "Stefan Blom" wrote: Open your template as a document (via the Open dialog box) and apply the desired theme.

Hello Stefan,
I make a template with a theme and some letters and some changes in the headings from the styles. I save that template. If I reopen that in Word, I see everything that I put into the template. But if I put that dotx into C:\Documents and Settings\Jet\Application Data\Microsoft\Word\STARTUP, everything is gone. Can You Explain that? "Theodora" wrote in message ...

Themes in Word
This is because the startup folder can not be used to share formatting; see

Themes in Word
Hello Stefan,
So, the only way to give everyone the same lettertype, styles and the same theme is to change the normal.dotm and put that in everyones profile? The best way to do that is to open the normal.dotm, make a new style set and colors (fonts are available in the style set) and set that as default. I also change the theme (I make that with powerpoint) and save the normal.dotm. Is that the right way?

Themes in Word
Well, in theory you could do this. But users may no appreciate it, when they
lose their individual customizations (many of which are stored in the Normal template). Instead, it would be better to add a custom template to the profile (that is, to the user templates folder), and teach users to create documents from templates (via Office button | New). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Theodora" wrote in message ...
