How to deploy custom Office 2007 themes to multiple users

Folks,

As part of our customization to MS Office 2007, we developed a number of custom theme files (.thmx).

The only way we now to deploy the custom theme is to copy them into %appdata%\Microsoft\Templates\Document Themes, for each user to allow the user to see the theme under his theme gallery drop down.
