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?

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

or

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.

    Thank you for the Windows 2013 office themes download. You helped me get a 4.0 grade point average on my Professional Administration Course. :)

    Thank You Doug. This is exactly what I was needing. Those that are complaining....all you need to do is click Doug's link, right click the one you want, download, open it, then "save as" in a folder to your documents (or wherever). Be sure to rename it for easy retrievability. It will show as "Presentation (#)" if you do not and you will not know which one is which if you download more than one. For future reference, I have downloaded all of them.

    Next, when you go to use the Theme, choose the Themes "drop down list" under the Design Tab, and click the Browsing option.....go to the folder you saved them in and click the one needed. IT DOES WORK if you followed these steps. If you need it on other computers, copy the folder to a Flash Drive and take it with you to download to that computer or just keep the flash drive handy. 

    Of course, this is not as convenient as having it already in the Themes "drop-down list," but at least you will have it and in the long run....that is what matters most.

    DO THIS! IT WORKS!!

    Only thing is I added 2 other steps (steps 1 and 2 below) that may or may not have been necessary.

    1. I logged out of my Microsoft account while I was in Word.
    2. Follow "techteacher22'" instructions.
    3. Log back in to Microsoft account.

    I don't know how long it will last, but it does work to put the themes back in the drop-down box.

    Now I'm back to 30 instead of 9!!

    Thank you sir, you are an angel

    To load these into WORD 2013, I opened a new WORD document, typed in a couple of lines,  and then used the Theme selection dialog to ring in the new themes and saved them one-by-one
