Word 2007 Getting rid of standard templates
I've posted this questions before, I'd love to somehow get rid the the
standard templates that are automatically installed with Word. So far the responses I've gotten indicate it's not possible... great... so does anyone know how I can push them to the end of the line so that my template tabs appear first?? This is so annoying!! -- martinson portland |

Word 2007 Getting rid of standard templates
No. It is a hideous change from the way previous versions worked. At least
you could uninstall the supplied templates in previous versions and reorganise the tabs by numbering them. In Word 2007, you have no control. Another example of the Word Gestapo at work. If it helps, you could put your templates as shortcuts on your desktops to open up directly to a document created fro the template (but not that convenient if Word is already open). You could also make commands and add them to your QAT. But that may be hopeless if you have loads of custom templates. Personally, I only use 12 templates, so I have simply put them all in the General Tab so at least I can get at them reasonably quickly. You can order them in under the General tab by adding a number prefix. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "martinson" wrote in message ...

Word 2007 Getting rid of standard templates
I'd never actually realized that the tabs are in alphabetical order in the
File New dialog (I'm not sure they always were), but I'm curious as to why mine run in this order: Front row: General, Publications, Clients, Correspondence, Envelopes, Jack, Labels, Legal Pleadings Back row: Microsoft Merge Templates, Microsoft Templates, Microsoft Wizards, Other Documents, OTT, Rotary Everything seems to be entirely alphabetical except for "Publications" being oddly out of order. The only reason I can think of is perhaps that that is the name of one of Word's built-in tabs. Also, in case anyone is curious, the reason for the three "Microsoft" tabs is that I saved copies of all the built-in templates so that I have them available to assist users. The Legal Pleadings tab was created because Word seemed to insist on having the Legal Pleading template there. Since I have few enough tabs and not much trouble finding them, I haven't bothered to try to combine or eliminate. -- Suzanne S.

I'm not sure that previous versions were forced in alphabetical order either, but they were removable. But is your list example showing which tabs you are seeing in Word 2007?

Hi Martinson,
Which template dialog are you using in Word 2007 (there is more than one that can be installed g) and what are the steps you're using to access it.

File / New tabbed version of the dialog. Using Office 2007 Standard Ed. SP1. The default templates are in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office \Templates\1033 and if you remove them, they still show up in File / New.

Word 2007 Getting rid of standard templates

Well done. I admire your persistence in finding this key. I've noted that in addition to the global removal of all the installed templates, you can also rename the key for individual templates and therefore keep selective templates if you want. Blank normal and blank XML are fortunately retained even when globally renaming the key. Again, many thanks for this tip. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP wrote in message ...
