I now have a total of only 9 themes in Office 2013.  In the past there were dozens.  I teach a class on Microsoft Office and when students are asked to use a certain theme, they aren't finding them.  What happened?

Microsoft 365 and Office | Word | For home | Windows

This is a better option:

I have put a copy of the themes from various versions of Office (2007, 2010, 2013) in folders under the following folder of my One Drive

http://1drv.ms/1utd6rX

or

https://1drv.ms/f/s!AmuIXmFDy-1axC47TeQd4-gsdPZi

If you download the theme that you want and save it in the

C:\Users[User Name]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates\Document Themes

folder, it should appear as a Custom Theme in the Themes dropdown.

    I just tested, and I get the same error message.

    Doug, perhaps you could have another look?

    I clicked both the shortened and unshortened links and was also unable to access the files. Possibly a permission error?

    If you are referring to the files on my OneDrive, they most definitely are still there.  Clicking on the shortened link in my response of September 28, 2016, took me to the following page:

    However, if that link does not work, use https://1drv.ms/f/s!AmuIXmFDy-1axC47TeQd4-gsdPZi

    Brad:

    While it is good to look for existing question with the answer to your problem, if you find an "old" one that has been marked as "answered" but it does not exactly fix your problem then it is better for you to start a new question rather than tag along on an old question. Most of us do not look at questions that have been marked answered, only if we are interested to learn what the answer was.

    By posting a new question you have to provide us with relevant background information, Office version, specific application, Windows version etc. Plus you can provide a general description of your specific problem.

    The links don't work because the file is no longer in OneDrive.
