This is what MSFT say:

"Microsoft Office 2003 suites and applications are not compatible with Windows 8.

We recommend you check the version of Microsoft Office installed on your PC before you upgrade to Windows 8 or Windows 8 Pro. To do this, go to this article: What version of Office am I using?

If you have a Microsoft Office 2003 suite or application on your PC, you will have problems running it on Windows 8. We recommend you upgrade Office to a newer version that is compatible with Windows 8.

I know people are using 2003 on 8 but it may be causing the problem.

Even if the custom template is designed in .potx format, windows 8 is not supporting it. Moreover am not able to add my custom template in the design->themes tab (Am able to do the same in my windows 7 machine).

So are you not using 2003.

Nope. Am using 2013.

Probably a good idea to change the profile settings then because they say 2003
