I am using Word 2003. When I want to open a new document with File New, the
dialogue box always shows the Preview icons of my templates. I always click
on the File option so is it possible to have it show this option by default,
please?

By default, File Open should open at the path for documents as defined in
Tools, Options, File Locations tab, Documents. There shouldn't be any
templates in My Documents.

Sorry, I had not explained well. What I should have asked was:
When I want to open a new document based on one of my templates, the
dialogue box always shows the Preview icons of my templates. I always click
on the File option so is it possible to have it show this option by default,
please?

Now I follow you. The File, New dialog is set as you see it.

Sorry for the delay in replying - I eventually found what I was looking for
and recorded a macro:

SendKeys "%2"
Dialogs(wdDialogFileNew).Show

Now I get the view I want.

Thanks.
