How and where do I find documents saved as templates
Hi,
I'm a new user of MS Office Word 2007 and saved a document as a template. Can I creat my own template form?? And if so. How and where do I find it as a template??? Can find it in the file, Recent Documents and My Documents, but it doesn't work like a template when inserting information. It works like any regular document having to respace everything inbetween words, numbers, etc. Thank you to anyone that can help, Hector |

How and where do I find documents saved as templates
If it is a template save it as a template in the trusted templates location.
It will then be available from New My Templates to create documents. I don't understand what you mean by working like 'any regular document'. A document created from a template is a 'regular document'. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org HectorRG wrote: Hi, I'm a new user of MS Office Word 2007 and saved a document as a template.

sounds like he wants a "locked" form.... where you insert information in
designated spots without it modifying the spacing or alignment of existing text. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kathryn Groves "Graham Mayor" wrote in message ...

How and where do I find documents saved as templates
That being the case, the legacy form commands are retained in the
application (on the developer tab of the ribbon) and the form fields can be inserted in table cells of fixed dimensions, as with the earlier versions, to prevent the text from moving around. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Kate G. wrote: sounds like he wants a "locked" form.... where you insert information in designated spots without it modifying the spacing or alignment of existing text.

How and where do I find documents saved as templates
Hi Kate,
Yes you are exactly correct. Now that Graham has confussed me on where and how to find the template I supposedly cerated. I'll have to ask him just what he means. He's just a little too technical for me in his explanation.

How and where do I find documents saved as templates
Hello Graham,
I'm not sure what you mean by the legacy form commands, or the developer tab of the ribbon, or tables cells of fixed demnsions. You'er just alittle too technical for me in your explanation. I have never created a template before, for not knowing how to. I just went to save my document, and it gave the optioin to save it as a tempolate of which would work great for me and save me alot of time every time I need to creat the type of document.

The developer tab is not added to the ribbon by default - you can add it
from Word options. Click the 'pizza' button top left Word Options Popular Check 'Show Developer Tab in the Ribbon). Legacy fields are the fields retained from Word 2003 and you will find them in the second block from the left on a button that looks like crossed hammer and wrench on a clipboard Table cells of fixed dimensions are tables in which the column width is set to 'fixed width (right click the cell autofit fixed width) and the row height is set to exactly whatever height you want to accommodate the text. Remove the cell border and you have an area which will not 'grow'. A template is merely a proforma layout from which documents are created. In Word 2007 you will probably want to save as macro enabled template (dotm) and to do that you save in that format in the trusted templates location (the same folder you will find normal.dotm). This is accessed from Word Options (the pizza button again) Save As Word Template Type Word Macro-Enabled Template - dotm and click Trusted Templates in the Places bar to ensure you put it in the right location. Give it a name and job done. You will access it from Word Options New My Templates, then subsequently from the recent used templates. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org HectorRG wrote: Hello Graham, I'm not sure what you mean by the legacy form commands, or the developer tab of the ribbon, or tables cells of fixed demnsions.
