What happened to the Template Wizards?
I am trying to write a letter in Word and discovered that all of the 03
templates are gone from the directory including the Fax wizard and the Letter Wizard. What happened to these and how can I retrive them? I looked at the downloads and found a bunch of useless templates with flowers and ponies but no actual business use letters. What give -- Chris Hubbard Quarry Group Inc. |

-- Hi Chris, I have only just seen your request for templates: I also wondered where they had gone; But found then he- If you go to M/S word doc.: click on file: then click on new, you should get a list appear on the right of your screen. Click on "On my computer" and if you are lucky you should find what you are looking for. Regards muffet.

Yes, I looked there. In Office 03 we had 10 tabs of files available for
tempaltes. With 07 there is only 1 tab per program and the wizards, Letter, Fax Newsletter are gone. It also appeared to remove them from office 03. -- Chris Hubbard Quarry Group Inc.

The templates folder (for personal templates) is defined for each Word
application in its file locations option User templates. Both work in exactly the same way in that sub folders will appear as tabs. Both however have a different way of handling the *resident* templates. In Word 2003 they are installed by request, in 2007 they are ever present. In Word 2007 you can access your personal templates from Open My Templates. Recent templates are placed on the recent templates area. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Chris Hubbard wrote: Yes, I looked there.

They are not there. I have also searched the drive and all 03 templates
appear to be gone. Also there were tools in the tools menu to re-run the letter wizard and the fax wizard. Why did they get rid of this. My Fax and letter template have the fields already defined ready to go and they sit blank now. When I try to get new templates all I get are ones posted on the website which are mostly useless.

When you go to File New (Alt+F,N) do you not have a choice 'Installed
Templates'? -- Terry Farrell - MS Word MVP "Chris Hubbard" wrote in message ... They are not there. I have also searched the drive and all 03 templates appear to be gone.

Yes,
But nothing of any use is there. What happened to all of the usefull word templates. Fax and letter wizard. There were many usefull templates that shipped with office since 97 and they all appear to have been replaced with fluff. Urban Fax, give me a break. -- Chris Hubbard Quarry Group Inc.

If you never modified the earlier templates or moved them to another folder
they were never installed as user templates and so don't make it past the upgrade. If you install Word 2003 you can copy the templates and wizards into the Word 2007 template user folder and they will be available to Word 2007. I cannot say that I found any of the earlier standard templates useful without modification and such modification would have saved them in the user templates folder and they would still be available. It shouldn't be very difficult to recreate a working template from a letter (or other document) - see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/Letterhead.htm - should you wish to retain the same style of presentation. Microsoft does not monitor this user peer group forum or answer user's questions here. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Chris Hubbard wrote: They are not there.
