Setting up custom themes in Microsoft Word 2007

When creating new themes in Office 2007 be aware that by default these will be saved in the User templates location, not the Workgroups template location.
Workgroup Templates should be kept for your .dotx files or .dotm files.
Also, for consistency sake, you may want to push out theme changes to the User Templates location.

To find and change the user templates location:

• Open Microsoft Word 2007
• Click on the big button at the top left hand corner
• Click on the Word Options Button
• Select Advnaced at the left hand side and scroll down to the bottom
• Click on the File locations button
• Double click on user templates and change this location to your desired one.

As for editing the colors and fonts, that involves having a few colors to choose from.
Most of the colours in the templates are used for standardising charts, but you have to use Microsoft Word to set/change the template locations.
Once set, you can export the registry key so that can be rolled out if required.
