The Office suite must include both Outlook and Word 2007 for themes to work out of the box. Some folks have reported that Office diagnostics fixes the issue but I have not seen any successes using that method.

||
||| Hi there,
|||
||| I purchased Outlook 2007 as a stand alone program a while ago and
||| was running it with Office 2000, however because I could not use
||| all of the features Outlook 2007 offered with the Office 2000 pack
||| I decided to upgrade my whole package to Office 2007 and so I
||| purchased this online and downloaded it onto my computer.
|||
||| However, when I try to set the Theme that all my new email messages
||| will use I get a message that says Themes are not installed. I ran
||| the the Outlook configuration untility and clicked all the
||| components to "run from my computer" but it still says that Themes
||| are not installed.
|||
||| How can I fix this problem or install Themes
|||
||| Thanks
|||
