I had some templates in a personal User Templates file. The directory was
moved to a new location. The old directory no longer exists. The
Options/File
Locations was changed to reflect the new location of User Templates. The
old
template continues to be displayed in the "New from template" menu. I can
delete the actual file, I just can't get it out of the "New from template"
menu. How do I remove from the "New from template" menu the old template
entry that Word persists in trying to find? Version: Word 2002 SP3
