Templates for Word 2003
I have development templates that will not show up in Word 2003 when users
execute the FileNew step to create a new document. In Word 2000, the available templates prompt shows all available templates, but the similar prompt to the right of the new document in 2003 won't show them. I have verified my File Locations in the Options prompt. For the templates in question, I'm mapping to a server drive with the Workgroup Templates identifier. (I have also tried copying the files under the Application Data directory on the user's PC, but that doesn't work either. Thoughts? Suggestions? Thanks! |

File New "On my computer" is the path to the File New dialog in Word
2003. To change this to simply File New, see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/C...ngWord2002.htm. 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.

Charles:
Your reply is excellent, but I need a little more hand holding. How exactly do I change the FileNewOn My Computer setting for those users who are upgraded to XP with Word 2003? (Most of us here, in fact, aren't, so my templates are being called up from the server location just fine by most.) I'm trying to fix 3% of the population.... Thanks again!
