I see currently in the Themes section 30 themes, but in template files folder there is only 8 thmx files. Why?

I find it very over complicated to hard-code these paths manually, there has to be an easier way to set a built-in ppt theme.

Sub Change_Theme()
Application.ActivePresentation.ApplyTemplate "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\root\Document Themes 16\Facet.thmx"

End Sub

ActivePresentation.TemplateName seems to give back the name of the template, but I want to make dynamic the other parts as well, like getting the whole path.

Is there any creative solution to solve this?

Thank you very much
 

Excel Facts

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.
