Delete default templates
Hi,
I know I can get rid of the default templates (Letters & Faxes, Memos ... )in Word by choosing to never install them, but I still see three templates I don't want to see (XML, Web Page and E-mail Message). I only want to see my own templates + normal.dot. Is there a way to delete/uninstall them as well? |

I don't think you can get rid of them - they are not separate templates,
just options within the Normal template. Are they really such a nuisance? -- Enjoy, Tony "KjellF" wrote in message ...

Delete default templates
Well I can handle it, but not the +150 users chosing the wrong templates
If possible I would prefer them not too show up, but so far I've come to the same conclusion as you have.

Delete default templates
There are a number of ways to get new documents from templates. Most require
vba but not all.

Delete default templates
Of course we do... but do you remember everything you learnt in school? Do
you ever make mistakes? I do, and so do my users.

Delete default templates
You would be surprised how many employers put precious little resource into
training and the use of templates is an elementary essential. Users should not be forgetting such essentials as using the correct templates for company documents. Of course we all make mistakes, but I never use a letter template for creating a memo or an envelope template for creating an e-mail.
