workgroup templates
Hello, we have upgraded Word 2003 (only - this is temporary) on workstations
running with Office 97. This works fine, except even after specifying a network path for Workgroup Templates in TOOLS - OPTIONS - FILE LOCATIONS, then we click FILE - NEW we do not get a General Templates dialog box from which to select a Workgroup template, instead a Templates bar appears along the right side of the Word window but does not list the workgroup templates. We copied NORMAL.DOT to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11, thinking Word 2003 would read it there and then locate those Workgroup templates, but that didn't work. Any ideas on how to configure it properly so we do see those Workgroup templates? Thanks. |

Hi Randy
Word 2003 interposes the new Task Pane between the File New command and the old File New dialog box. On the Task Pane, click "On my computer". You should now see the Workgroup templates in the old File New dialog box you're familiar with. As you use templates, they will appear in the Task Pane in the "Recently used templates" list. If you want to revert to the old File New functionality, see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/C...ngWord2002.htm. Hope this helps. Shauna Kelly.
