You're welcome. Wish I had a difinitive answer for you!
If you guys are running WinXP, that path would be
C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Application
Data\Microsoft\Templates\Document Themes
The path I mentioned below is for Vista.

I actually did try to add that path in the user location, but no
luck. I found an ADM for Office 2007 and installed it locally to see
if there was anything in Group Policy that would have this effect, but
haven't found anything so far. As a workaround, I think I will try to
see if there is a way (via registry or GP) to have Office look at the
network path instead of "C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft
\Templates\Document Themes" for its custom design templates. Thanks
for your help Echo, you definitely pushed me down the right path.
