I have created 2 new color themes that I would like to share with my group - smilar to export illustrator color swatches etc. Thanks.

You just need to find the two xml files and send them to users. They should place the files in the equivalent folder

Probably:
C:\Users\Name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates\ Document Themes\Theme Colors\

Note that this is a hidden folder.

How do I unhide all folders? thanks

Hi John - I have unhidden all folders but when I get to the templates folder it is empty. It is a company laptop - would that make a difference?

Have you created a custom color theme? It will only be there if you created it. In any case the Templates folder should not normally be completely empty. Obviously I have no idea what settings your company have imposed though.

Yes I have......thanks for your time.

If you did you will have a name for the custom color scheme.

Download "Everything" from voidtools (great search program) and search for the name.
