I downloaded some new themes and templates but when I try
to add them, they are not an option - what "trick" did I
miss to get them as one of the defaults in the library?
 
Custom themes are saved in "Theme_name" folders (save the whole folder)
Windows 2000 / XP the default location would be:
C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Microsoft\Themes\Theme_name\
Windows 95 or Windows 98 w/o user profiles
C:\windows\application data\Microsoft\Themes\Theme_name\
Windows 98 with user profiles
C:\windows\profiles\user\application data\Microsoft\Themes\Theme_name\
Windows NT® or Server 4.0 Windows 95 or Windows 98 w/o user profiles
C:\winnt\profiles\user\application data\Microsoft\Themes\Theme_name\
Windows 2000 or Windows XP the default location would be:
C:\Documents and Settings\User\Application Data\Microsoft\Themes\Theme_name

Default themes are installed in:
Prior to FP2003:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Themes
And in FP2003
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Themes11

Templates are stored in the appropriate folder under
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Templates\
