Normal templates do not apply in Word
We have users who prefer this method for creating Word Docs:
From an Explorer Window they use the File New Microsoft Office Word Document. This way the new document is in the folders they are viewing at that time. The problem is we cannot find the template to which this method refers. We have changed the various Normal.do* files; and they work fine when the user starts Word, or chooses FileNew from within Word. But they have no affect on the documents created in the method described above. I've looked in Programs and Profile sub folders, but cannot find the correct template, please help. Thank you. -- Steve |

Thank you for your reply,
I do not have New-Microsoft Office Word 97-2003 Document as an option in Explorer and I cannot find where to turn it on. How do I add Microsoft Office Word 97-2003 Document to the menu listing? -- Steve "Herb Tyson [MVP]" wrote: It's a bit complicated.

So... when you right-click in a file area in Windows Explorer, do you have a
New option? If so... what choices are listed there? If you don't have Word 2007 installed, it could say simply NewMicrosoft Office Word Document, without the version numbers mentioned . -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Steve_likes_vba" wrote in message ...
