Default Adding My Own Templates

I've upgrade to Word 2007 and have a set of my own templates in a
separate directory that were developed in a previous version of word.

How do I customise Word 2007 to show those templates when I open up a
new document.

Add a button for it to the Quick Access Toolbar.

Go to Office button Word Options Customize. Set the category to either
All Commands or Commands Not In the Ribbon. Choose the command "New Document
or Template..." and click the Add button. That command opens the same dialog
as did File New in previous versions.

To have your templates appear as a custom tab in this dialog, you have to
make your directory a subfolder within the Templates folder (by default,
%appdata%\Microsoft\Templates).
