Adding My Own Templates
I've upgrade to Word 2007 and have a set of my own templates in a separate
directory that were developed in a previous version of word. How do I customise Word 2007 to show those templates when I open up a new document. Tx Rob |

Set the category to either All Commands or Commands Not In the Ribbon. Choose the command "New Document or Template..." and click the Add button. That command opens the same dialog as did File New in previous versions. To have your templates appear as a custom tab in this dialog, you have to make your directory a subfolder within the Templates folder (by default, %appdata%\Microsoft\Templates). -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

Adding My Own Templates
Thanks Jay,
I've got that solution working now although it is not quite ideal. The reason is that the templates are currently actually stored on a small server, so three of us can access them (and the templates stay consistent). Is there a way that the default directory for these templates can be changed in word 2007 (I know you could do it in the previous version - and that's the bit I'm struggling with.)

Adding My Own Templates
'File Locations' has now moved to Word Options, Advanced tab (Alt+F, I, A)
at the very bottom of the dialog. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "BRob" wrote in message ... Thanks Jay, I've got that solution working now although it is not quite ideal.
