Using Themes in Other Office Programs

Reviewing the documentation that came with Theme Builder, it appears that the
Theme fonts/colors/effects do NOT work in all of the Office programs only
PPT, Word, Excel and Outlook (limited).

I went looking for this information because a client of ours needs a
Publisher template developed and since we had previously prepared multiple
Themes for them, we didn't think it would be a problem to apply it to the
Publisher template.

Apparently we were wrong!

This is frustrating. We also wanted to use Theme backgrounds in Outlook
(for emails) but ran into issues with that as well.

Sorry, not really a question... just venting a bit to those who understand!

You might ask in the Outlook and Publisher groups to see if they have any
options to suggest.

I think Publisher didn't get the Ribbon interface in the 2007 version, but
it's supposed to in 2010, I believe. If that's the case, then maybe their
templates will become theme-aware then, too?

But I would have thought it would work with Outlook now. Shoot.
