If you never modified the earlier templates or moved them to another folder
they were never installed as user templates and so don't make it past the
upgrade. If you install Word 2003 you can copy the templates and wizards
into the Word 2007 template user folder and they will be available to Word
2007.
I cannot say that I found any of the earlier standard templates useful
without modification and such modification would have saved them in the user
templates folder and they would still be available.
It shouldn't be very difficult to recreate a working template from a letter
(or other document) - see
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/Letterhead.htm - should you wish to
retain the same style of presentation.

They are not there. I have also searched the drive and all 03
templates appear to be gone.
Also there were tools in the tools menu to re-run the letter wizard
and the fax wizard. Why did they get rid of this. My Fax and letter
template have the fields already defined ready to go and they sit
blank now.
When I try to get new templates all I get are ones posted on the
website which are mostly useless.
Nobody from MS to answer this
The templates folder (for personal templates) is defined for each
Word application in its file locations option User templates. Both
work in exactly the same way in that sub folders will appear as tabs.
Both however have a different way of handling the *resident*
templates. In Word 2003 they are installed by request, in 2007 they
are ever present. In Word 2007 you can access your personal
templates from Open My Templates.
Recent templates are placed on the recent templates area.

Yes, I looked there. In Office 03 we had 10 tabs of files available
for templates. With 07 there is only 1 tab per program and the
wizards, Letter, Fax Newsletter are gone. It also appeared to remove
them from office 03.
-- Hi Chris,
I have only just seen your request for templates:
I also wondered where they had gone; But found then he-
If you go to M/S word doc.: click on file: then click on new, you
should get a list appear on the right of your screen. Click on "On
my computer" and if you are lucky you should find what you are
looking for.

I am trying to write a letter in Word and discovered that all of
the 03 templates are gone from the directory including the Fax
wizard and the Letter Wizard. What happened to these and how can
I retrive them? I looked at the downloads and found a bunch of
useless templates with flowers and ponies but no actual business
use letters.
