Outlook 2007 stationery using custom theme

[Fev]

Hi
I am trying to create custom outlook stationery that uses a custom
Office 2007 theme. I have tried creating the stationery in Word,
applying the theme and saving as an Mht file. Unfortunately the theme
data does not appear to be saved with the document. Is there any HTML
code I can add to the document to set the theme? Or can I specify the
xml colour and font files that have been created when the custom theme
was created. Where and how would I add this code?

I have also tried saving as an HTML document without any success.
Lastly I tried creating the stationery in FrontPage 2003, creating the
FrontPage scheme, but it still is not providing me with the stationery
requirements in Outlook 2007.
Thanks
Heather

I discovered I had to copy the Frontpage *.css, *.elm and *.inf files
as well as the folder containing the graphics to the Stationery folder
in the \Application Data\Microsoft folder structure. It still doesn't
use the Office 2007 Theme, it would appear that this still would need
to be applied manually from the Options tab in an e-mail message if
required, unless someone can help me set this as the default Outlook
theme. I have set the custom theme to the default themes in Word,
Excel and PowerPoint.
