Outlook themes not available

[Esbat_7]

I have both Outlook and Office Home & Student 2007 installed on my computer
and I still don't have access to Outlook themes (the option is greyed out).
I've tried Office diagnostics with no change. Any I missing something?

apparently you need a full suite to have themes on outlook.

The Home and Student suite does not contain Outlook, therefore your Outlook
stand-alone is not part of the suite and therefore themes are unavailable.

I have the same thing and cannot find any answers either. I have Microsoft
Home Office Student, 2007 and Microsoft Office Outlook 2007. I as well have
tried over and over to get themes and stationary in emails, and it is greyed
out so I have no options to choose. Can anyone give any suggestions other
than it has to be *Suite*, which means what, one has to buy Proffessional?
thanks.

I believe that unless you have an Office suite that contains both Outlook and
Word, you cannot have themes and stationery in Outlook.

Themes only work if you have both outlook and word from the same suite. You
can install the student version and standalone outlook and get the same
integration.

BTW, you don't need the pro suite - standard will do. The only requirement
is outlook and word in the same box.

Don't you mean "can't" get the same integration?

I have Office Professional 2007 and having same problem "themes are not
installed". Any other thoughts? Thanks, PJG

Hi,
had the same issue, pls try to add the features from your office suite:- run setup and add/remove features, click on Office tools and select run all from my computer , and from office shared features make sure you select web themes and microsoft office themes , and from Microsoft outlook, outlook stationary and outlook templates. It worked for me.Thnx

Thanks, Rajesh, but no luck. Under add/remove features all are marked "run
from my computer" or "run all from my computer". I did try again but still
no themes. Quite the mystery.

Just today I discovered what you all know........I can't access themes or
stationary in my stand alone version of Outlook 2007. I didn't have that
problem in 2003 version.....what's up with this Microsoft?!

I tried your suggestions Rajesh but, like PJG, no luck.
