Changing Color Themes in Word
You can edit the Color Theme of a Theme-Ready template by clicking the Change Color Theme button 
on the OfficeReady 4.0 Toolbar 
in Microsoft Word. This will open the Theme Manager, as shown below.
Note: While there are several functions that the OfficeReady 4.0 Toolbar can be used for on any Word document, only OfficeReady 4.0 templates have the ability to use all of the OfficeReady 4.0 Toolbar's functions.
Note: If you do not see the OfficeReady 4.0 Toolbar, at the top of Word select View | Toolbars, and click OfficeReady 4.0.
