A document, or template is intended to have only one theme associated with it. The "other" themes are actually installed on the computer.
Here are some ways to share themes:
Share / Distribute Themes
Send the Document
Themes travel with the document
Have the recipient save the Theme, with current name, to their local HD:
- Design tab
- Themes group
- Save Current Theme.
Or in Word
- Page Layout tab
- Themes group
- Themes drop down
- Save current Theme (use the default theme name)
Distribute the .THMX file
Copy the .THMX file to the standard Theme location:
C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates\Document Themes.
The exact location varies slightly depending on the OS.

If you have a computer with office 2010 then,
- open excel, Go to Page Layout, Select the "Trek" and then on the same page you have an option to save the theme, Save the theme to the desktop, The extension of the file would be *.thmx.
- copy the saved theme to the fallowing location on you Office 2013 computer
"C:\Users\user name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates\Document Themes"
- Open excel 2013, Go to Page Layout, on the theme tab select "Browse for the theme and navigate to the location
"C:\Users\user name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates\Document Themes"
- select the theme.
***************
If you have access to a computer where Office 2010 is installed, you can copy all of the XML files from the folder C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Document Themes 14\Theme Colors. [Note: If the computer is running 64-bit Windows, the first folder in that
path will be "Program Files (x86)" instead of just "Program Files".] Paste those files into the folder C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Document Themes 15\Theme Colors on your computer (again, if you have 64-bit windows, use "Program Files (x86)" in the path).
You'll then find the new entries at the bottom of the list on the Colors button.

Each theme (.THMX file extension) includes one color scheme, one font set, and one effects scheme. You can edit the color scheme and font set in the PowerPoint interface and save the theme. The new color scheme and font set will travel with the theme.
