Theme in Visio 2010

[Jack21]

Hi - Can anyone help?

Is it possible to include a Theme in Visio that is accessible every time you open the application rather than for a specific flowchart.

Thanks as always
Jackie

Unlike most other Office applications, Visio stores themes in the documents themselves, not externally.
The best you can probably do is create a blank drawing of the type you want, then create a custom theme, and save the drawing as a template (*.vst).
You can access the template by double-clicking it in Windows Explorer, or by selecting File | New in Visio itself.
Not ideal, but...

Hi Hans

Do you know where the templates need to be saved to? It is not defaulting anywhere as it does when you save a Word, Excel or PPt template in office 2010.

In Visio 2010, you can specify the default path for templates by selecting File | Options, clicking Advanced, then clicking File Locations in the General section.
