eWord2000 - I had my own named Tab in the Templates area (New Document) when
using Windows98s. Now I've installed Word2000 on a new WindowsXP laptop and
cannot find where to put my own templates or how to create a new Tab in New
Documents for them.
Help.

The user template folder is defined at tools options file locations
user templates.
Based on that information the process of creating tabs is the same as for
Windows 98.

Windows XP creates a folder under C:\Documents and Settings with your
logon name as the folder name. Under that are a number of folders,
including a hidden one named Application Data. (In order to see this
folder and anything inside it, you have to open Windows Explorer, go
to Tools Folder Options View, and check "Show hidden files and
folders".)

Under the Application Data folder is (among others) a Microsoft
folder, and under that is a Templates folder. By default, that's where
Word looks for templates. To recreate your personal tab in New
Document, make a folder inside the Templates folder and fill it with
your templates. Note that Word won't show you the new tab unless
there's at least one template in the folder.
