Templates in too many languages. Only need English.
Hey Charles,
I didn't find anything in the template link you provided that lead me in a direction to answer my original question. Thanks for trying. The only templates I use are the installed templates found in the General templates link, and unfortunately, it looks as if I will just have to sort through all of the different languages to get to the ones I want. I guess if I have enough tiome to type this I can go through every conceiveable template I might use and copy it to another folder and tell word to look there to keep up with all of the new individual files. Seems like there would be an easier method of turning of items written in languages foreign to me.

Otherwise, move your own templates, the ones that you use, into folders in your user templates folder. They will then be listed under tabs other than "General." See the templates article I refered you to earlier. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.

There's nothing in the D:\Profiles\DaltonC\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates directory but normal.dot I'm an end user in a too big for it's own good company network. I can't install anything. Most machines are configured by folks 3,000 miles away. There are no install CDs to be had here. Is there some "add/remove components" functionality on my machine? Or am I left to cypher through 147 choices, (yes, I counted them), each time I try to use a template? Thanks for the reply Charles. "Charles Kenyon" wrote: First, look in your user templates folder (you can find this by looking under Tools Options File Locations). It is the folder that contains normal.dot and is the user folder whose contents are displayed under the General tab. Does it contain the templates you don't need? If so, move them to another folder. If not, they are probably "installed" templates. Built-in templates are installed or uninstalled. Try doing a custom install and selecting only the groups of templates you plan on using. Also do not install languages that you are not using. For more on the different kinds of templates, tabs on the file new dialog, and locations of templates folders see http://addbalance.com/usersguide/templates.htm. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.

When I create a document by using the new command and selecting from General templates, I have to sort through a myriad of templates in german, japanese, etc... I only want to see the english templates. My default language is set to english in Word and Windows. Any ideas? |
