Workgroup Templates - How do I get them to show up when going to File New?
Using Word XP/2002 on WinXP.
========================= I've got a letterhead template and a business card template I want to put on the server for the staff to have access to. I created a folder on the server, inside a shared Company folder, named "Word_Templates" - without the quotes. I then went to my PC's Word and modified the Workgroup Templates location to point to that folder. However, when I closed and then reopened Word and tried to find those templates, they aren't in File New. The Help menu didn't tell me what I need, so I'm hoping someone here can. -- Mike Webb Platte River Whooping Crane Maintenance Trust, Inc. a 501 (c)(3) conservation non-profit organization |

Create a Server folder called Templates and a sub-folder called 'something
sensible' and then point the Workgroup folders to Templates. The templates will be found in a new tab on File, New called 'something sensible'. Note that until there are actually REAL templates in the folder, it will not show as a tab in File, New. -- Terry Farrell - Word MVP http://word.mvps.org/ "Mike Webb" wrote in message ...
