I can't get themes to work in Excel 2007. If I point, click or stand on my
head, the theme doesn't apply to my worksheet. It flickers, but no theme,
just the same old default monochrome.

Help?

I'm having the same issue. They have never worked in Excel 2007 and have
recently downloaded the update and still no luck with Themes.

Thanks for any help/suggestions.

I'm having the same problem. I select the theme but nothing happens. It is
working correctly in Word 2007 just not in Excel 2007. Is there something
else I need to enable or add on?

I've been having some issues with that myself. Here's what I found
out so far.

1. Theme colors apply only to those cells that are formatted with
theme colors. Those are not the "standard" colors. For example, if
you select a new theme, you'll see the color pallette change:

2. For fonts, you also have to use theme fonts for change to take
place. Here's an example:

http://www.44lbs.net/ilia/theme_office.jpg

Hope this helps.
