delete a tab in the templates dialog box?
I use Office XP. There are several tabs in the Templates dialog box that I
will never use. How do I delete or hide these tabs. In older versions of Word, I could just move the folder to another location. XP stores these in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Templates\1033 and the folders can't be renamed or moved. |

See €śFrequently asked questions about the location of Word 2002 templates€ť
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=291186 and €śManaging templates in Word 2003€ť http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=889495 Basically, the only way to get rid of the "installed" templates (the ones that ship with Word) is to uninstall them (which will remove the tabs as well). If there are some templates you want to keep, copy them to a user templates folder before you uninstall. One caveat: there are a couple of templates that are not stored with the rest but will be uninstalled along with them if you uninstall, and they are templates you want to keep because they contain useful macros. One is SUPPORT.DOT; you may also have a version of MACROS*.DOT. You may want to look for and copy these before you uninstall. -- Suzanne S.
