Duplicate Template Tabs
Hello,
I'm using Word 2000 on XP Home. Somehow my Templates folder has gotten confused. There are two rows of tabs for templates. One tab is "General." There is another tab also named "General" They contain some, but not all, of the same templates. I do not find most of the pre-installed templates or wizards to be especially helpful. How can I fix the problem of duplicate tabs and templates? And while I'm at it, how can I get rid of the pre-installed templates and wizards that I don't want? Also, how do I make sure that fixing the problem won't delete the templates that I have so laboriously created and put in there? Awaiting your helpful responses with baited breath ... *(((({ |

The only way to get rid of the "installed" templates (those that ship with
Word) is to uninstall them. If you have added user templates and saved them in the correct folder, they will not be affected.

You could get a second tab named General if you have a folder in your user
or workgroup templates folders named "General." As Suzanne told you, you need to uninstall templates that you don't want on your computer.
