Themes and templates

Post by Robie »

Are themes independent of templates? For example, if I create themes (we have six different themes) using one template can I use it for other templates where they are to be used differently.

For example:
Template A: theme changes the colours on the front cover
Template B: theme changes part colours on front cover, changes bullet colours
Template C: theme change only changes the bullet colours

I think the answer is yes but I thought I would just ask.

Thanks.

Themes are stored separately, and you can apply one theme to documents and templates in different Office applications, so you can create a consistent look across documents, workbooks and presentations.

I don't think you can use different parts of a theme depending on the document or template though.
Best wishes,
Hans

Thanks Hans. I will look into it bit more.

I will create six different theme files and apply them to different docs as needed. I will come back with more questions if necessary
