One Click. On Brand. At Scale.
Empower your superhero team to deliver consistent, on-brand deliverables effortlessly across Word, PowerPoint, and Excel
Is your team stuck battling formatting chaos instead of delivering polished, on-brand content?
If your brand isn’t built into the Microsoft ribbon,
it’s being rebuilt every day…
Manual formatting wastes time and effort
and frustrates end users who just want to do their jobs.
Wrong color palettes create daily friction
creating bottlenecks that slow teams down and keep people working late.
Marketing plays “brand police”...again
stuck reviewing and correcting files instead of scaling creativity.
AI output still needs reformatting
when Themes and Styles aren’t in place and when employees aren’t trained.
Off-brand files erode client trust
and dilute your visual identity.
IT fields constant formatting complaints
from employees fighting with their document or slides.
| Workflow | What Happens Without a Theme | How a Theme Helps |
|---|---|---|
| Using Copilot (inside Microsoft 365) |
Copilot outputs may be misaligned, inconsistent, or off-brand if the template lacks proper structure. | Themes, Styles, and named layouts tell the AI how to format content, delivering perfectly branded, ready-to-present files. |
| Using ChatGPT (outside Microsoft 365) |
Copy-pasted text loses formatting and creates extra rework for employees. | Theme Styles instantly apply brand formatting, so any pasted content matches your brand, no manual fixes needed. |
| No AI at all (manual formatting) |
Employees waste time formatting by hand, introducing errors and inconsistencies. | Themes provide fonts, colors, spacing, and Styles automatically, so documents are formatted correctly from the start. |
AI or not, formatting without a Theme is like building your brand from scratch in every deliverable.
🦸♀️ Themes = brand adherence, AI-readiness, and formatting confidence…for every role.

We’ve Been Solving Formatting Problems for over 20 Years
Brand inconsistency isn’t a user problem — it’s a setup problem.
And once employees understand what’s possible with Themes, they don’t just comply…they crave them.
RedCape has trained corporate teams around the world to get more out of their Microsoft Office tools. While Themes are just one part of our broader training, most companies didn’t have their Theme properly set up. As a result, employees started asking for them once they realized what was missing.
We teach how Microsoft Office really behaves, especially when copying and pasting content across files. We also show how Themes cascade downstream to content and objects, so teams learn to format at the structural level instead of object by object.
We’ve worked with professionals at Microsoft, Starbucks, LinkedIn, PepsiCo, Four Seasons, and more, helping them reduce time and effort through dynamic formatting best practices across Word, PowerPoint, and Excel, all of which rely on a well-designed Office Theme.

Meet Your Instructor: Vickie Sokol Evans
Vickie Sokol Evans is the go-to trainer for high performers who are tired of formatting chaos and ready for clarity. As a Microsoft Certified Trainer with nearly three decades of experience teaching on both Windows and Mac, Vickie has supported everyone from executive assistants to senior executives — including Bill Gates’ own team.
Her specialty? Fixing the system-level issues that derail deadlines, dilute brand consistency, and frustrate teams.
After troubleshooting thousands of formatting issues, she uncovered a common thread: most of the problems weren’t user error — they were Theme problems. Either the Theme didn’t exist, wasn’t set up correctly, or end users didn’t know how to use it. That insight shaped her mission.
Today, she’s one of the world’s leading experts on Microsoft Office Themes and the creator of the Themes Boot Camp. She works closely with designers to structure Theme files the right way, then trains IT and end users to apply them consistently and confidently.
Vickie’s training empowers teams to eliminate rework, align with AI tools like Copilot and ChatGPT, and scale their brand across every Word doc, spreadsheet, and slide deck — without friction.
Her workshops don’t just teach Themes. They fix what’s been broken for years.
She’s even trusted to train the team that supports Bill Gates.
“If your company Theme isn’t built into the ribbon, your team is rebuilding your brand every day. We help you fix that for good.”
~ Vickie Sokol Evans, Microsoft Certified Trainer
