2003 to 2007
I was using 2003. Just installed 2007. For some reason all my defaults are
set to 2003...really frustrating!! I figured out how to change most defaults to 2007. However, when I try to open a new document, I am NOT getting the "New Document" dialog box. I am getting a "Templates" dialog box. How do I fix this to get the "New Document" dialog box. |

In Word 2003, the Templates dialog is the same thing as the New dialog,
just with a different name; in Word 2007, as you've seen, it's a bit different. In Word 2007, you can access the New Document dialog via Office Button | New. If you want to add the New Document dialog to the QAT, right-click New in the Office Button menu and choose "Add to Quick Access Toolbar." Or you can get the classic New dialog by clicking "My templates" in the left pane of the New Document dialog. If the latter is what you are wanting, you can add it to the QAT instead (it's listed in Customize as "New Document or Template"). -- Suzanne S.

2003 to 2007
I already know that I suppose to be able to access the New Document dialog
box via Office button New in Word 2007 . But I do not get the New Document dialog box. The dialog box I get is simply named Templates. This dialog box has tabs that say general, faxes, letters, etc. and buttons that say "ok" and "cancel" It looks nothing like the New Document Dialog box should for Word 2007. I want it to look like and act like it is suppose to for Word 2007. I am not interested in anything that looks like 2003 which is exactly what I am getting when I click office button new. -- **Niki** "Suzanne S.

Hi Niki,
Is this on your own computer or one setup by the admins at work? There are settings that can be used to only show that dialog rather than the Word 2007 one. =========== "**Niki**" wrote in message ...

2003 to 2007
Hi Bob,
It is my own computer at home. Do you know how to change the settings so that I can get the "new document" dialog box to open instead of just the one that says "templates" when i click office button new? It's really frustrating because I am taking a class on office 2007 and even my instructor doesn't know how to fix the problem. I would appreciate any help. Thank you Noriko -- **Niki** "Bob Buckland ?:-)" wrote: Hi Niki, Is this on your own computer or one setup by the admins at work?
