"On my computer" is the Word 2003 terminology. "New from template: General
Templates" is correct in Word 2002.

I seem to be unable to access my templates with File, New, etc. in Word
2002 (via a remote connection through Microsoft Terminal Server). When I
click FileNew, a "New Documents" panel opens on the right side of my
screen. Under "New from template" I click on General Templates, which
ought
to open my collection of templates. But nothing happens! Meanwhile, the
folder containing all the templates is specified in
ToolsOptionsLocation
of Files. That folder is on the network server. I can browse to that
folder without any problem and modify the templates if I want. I
regularly
utilize templates from that folder when using my desktop PC on the
network,
such as for letters, memos, etc. My secretary also uses the same
collection. The reason for using a single group of templates is to
insure
uniformity even when I modify or update a template. If there is only one
folder I only have to update one template rather than the same template
in
multiple locations. Is there some reason I cannot use my templates (or
template folder) in this situation?
