Using your custom theme in a microsoft template
Hi,
I spent a lot of time coming up with a custom theme (font and colour) for a newsletter that I'm putting together. I wanted to use a Microsoft newsletter template for the format, but when I opened the template file it does not allow me to change the page layout theme. Is this possible? If so HOW? Thanks! |

Look at the title bar of the document created by the downloaded template. If it says "[Compatibility Mode]" -- as most of them do -- the template and its document are in Word 2003 format, which doesn't support themes. Click the Office button and click Convert to change the document to Word 2007 format. The Themes controls will become available. When you save the document, be sure it's a Word 2007 (*.docx) file. Unfortunately, what you'll find after conversion is that the styles and graphics used in the template have "hard-coded" fonts and colors rather than theme fonts and colors. That means you'll have to modify each style and each graphic to change them to the theme settings. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |
