As others have told you, you have saved your template in the folder MS
reserves for the templates it ships with Word. User templates are saved in a
different folder, the path to which is listed on the File Locations tab of
Tools | Options. If you want your template to appear on one of the existing
tabs, you need to create a subfolder of that folder with the same name as
the label on that tab. See the appropriate one(s) of the following articles:

Hi, I downloaded a APA format template and I saved it in my Office
dictorery
under templates/1033. When I select New, and look under the template, my
template doesnt show up there. You know where you have the different tabs,
General,Reports,ect... I would really like to get a apa template for my
school reports. I notice it is saved in the folder 1033 as a document not
as
a template. I tried to change the suffix but cant figure out how . Any
help
is appreciated.
