That worked! Thanks to both Graham and Stefan for your help with this. I

I figured that would be a last-ditch option. We'll all be moving
over to Word 2007 as a company shortly and there will undoubtedly be
some pages that I want to revise and remove the old themes. We'll
catch as many as we can, but if we miss a few, is there no other
option, aside from creating a new page with the old content?

I apologize, I forgot about the Format | Theme command.

The Theme feature in Word 2003 is different from that of Word 2007.
As you have noticed, if you open the *.doc in Word 2007, the
commands in the Themes group (on the Page Layout tab) are greyed out.

Open the document in Word 2003. You should be able to remove the
Word 2003 theme by clicking Format | Theme and then choosing "(No
Theme)" in the list.

Yes, MS Office Word 2003. You would click Format on the Menu Bar,
then Theme. And pick a design (Theme). I just had a coworker open
her Word, as
she's not been upgraded yet.

Are you really referring to themes? Note that themes were
introduced in Word
2007, so you couldn't have created one in Word 2003.

In Word 2007, you cannot remove a theme, but you can reset to the
theme from
the document template: Page Layout | Themes | Reset to Theme from
Template.

I created a page in Word 2003 using a Theme. As of 2 weeks ago I
now use
Word 2007. How do I remove the theme? I have gone to the Page
Layout/Theme
section, but if it's there, I can't figure out how to use it.
Thanks, Christine
