Theme files - must they be under %appdata%
We've designed our template to use two theme files, for fonts and colours, which are stored under the %appdata% directory. However on some machines for security reasons, it is not possible to access that directory. If it possible for Word to access theme files stored elsewhere?

The location for themes isn't customizable. The paths that can be customized are listed in the File Locations dialog box (at File | Options | Advanced, click the File Locations button).
May I ask why you are not letting users access the user profile?

Perhaps it would be possible to exclude the themes location from these security settings. I really don't know, because I'm no expert in Windows access rights/permissions settings.

Perhaps the application is allowed to write to the %appdata% area even though the user can't. Have you tried doing this with a macro from within Word?
Code:
'Update the theme colours With ActiveDocument.DocumentTheme .ThemeColorScheme(msoThemeDark1).RGB = 0 'Black .ThemeColorScheme(msoThemeLight1).RGB = RGB(255, 255, 255) 'White .ThemeColorScheme(msoThemeDark2).RGB = RGB(61, 65, 70) .ThemeColorScheme(msoThemeLight2).RGB = RGB(208, 211, 212) .ThemeColorScheme(msoThemeAccent1).RGB = RGB(252, 76, 2) .ThemeColorScheme(msoThemeAccent2).RGB = RGB(240, 179, 35) .ThemeColorScheme(msoThemeAccent3).RGB = RGB(97, 94, 155) .ThemeColorScheme(msoThemeAccent4).RGB = RGB(217, 192, 169) .ThemeColorScheme(msoThemeAccent5).RGB = RGB(0, 178, 169) .ThemeColorScheme(msoThemeAccent6).RGB = RGB(72, 159, 223) .ThemeColorScheme(msoThemeHyperlink).RGB = RGB(1, 66, 106) .ThemeColorScheme(msoThemeFollowedHyperlink).RGB = RGB(97, 94, 155) .ThemeColorScheme.Save FileName:="MyColorTheme.xml" 'Overwrites if necessary End With
