Themes Basics: Where Are Custom Office Themes and Templates Saved?

Have you wondered where the Themes and templates you save from within PowerPoint or other Office applications are located? Remember that your custom Themes and templates location is different than the location where PowerPoint’s built-in Office Themes are saved.

The location for these Themes and templates is important because you may want to share these with colleagues, clients, friends, or family. If you know where you can find these Themes and templates, you can make sure that they are copied to corresponding folders on other computers. And if you are a template designer or even a sysadmin at a large company, this information can be invaluable.

Theme Basics: The Evolution of Office Themes in PowerPoint

Evolution is an interesting concept because it’s the change that’s natural, logical, and involved. And although Themes (Office Themes) did not exist in their present form before Office 2007 for Windows, they did evolve from the humble PowerPoint template. And as you get deeper into how Themes work, you’ll find that PowerPoint uses these Themes in amazing ways, and shares them with Word and Excel. That’s the reason they are called Office Themes rather than PowerPoint Themes.
