Anyone know how to enable the themes feature in Outlook 2010? - File\Options\Mail\Stationary and Fonts\Personal Stationary.

The Themes button is greyed out. It's not a standalone version of Outlook either..

This is on Windows 8 with Office Professional Plus. Outlook version 14.0.7140..5002 (32bit)

Is there a GPO setting or registry key that can turn this on?

Hi,

Does this issue happen to all users in the environment? I haven't found a GPO setting that can be used to disable the Themes button. There is only a registry that can be used to restrict the usage of stationery in Outlook, but the Themes button won't be greyed out.

If we go to Home tab > New Items > E-mail Message Using > More Stationery, can you use a stationery from there?

In addition, we may try modifying the following registry and see if the theme will be changed:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\ 14.0\Common\MailSettings

Expandable String: NewStationery

Value: Enter name of stationery as the Value

Please let me know the result.
