FAQ
How it works - System setup
I provide a lightweight installer that places your official Brand Theme (.thmx) and assets into the specific system folders where Office looks for "Master Rules."
How it works - Manual Update
To rebrand an old file, you simply open the document, go to the "Design" or "Page Layout" tab in the Office Ribbon, and select your new Brand Theme.
Technical Limitations - Overview
This tool does not scan your hard drive to fix files automatically. You must open each legacy file and apply the theme manually to see the changes. Depending on how the document was created, there are two types and they will be handled a bit differently
Technical Limitations - "Vandalized files"
If a document has colors or fonts that were "forced" manually (hardcoded) instead of using Office Styles, those specific elements will not change automatically. You will need to re-select them using the new brand palette provided by the tool.
"Vandalized" files - Remediation service
Elements forced manually (hardcoded colors/fonts instead of styles) may require manual adjustments. I offer a separate Document Remediation hourly service to manually fix the files that don't react to the "Smart Paint".
Theme-Compliant Files - Notice
If your old documents were created using Office Standards (Theme Colors/Fonts), they will update instantly.
