Word Templates saving in the wrong spot
It's a good question, but unfortunately, there is no answer.
Who knows why they changed something that did work, rather than fixing the things that don't. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

Word Templates saving in the wrong spot
Hi Jake,
There are several factors involved, what made the decision final is one we don't know for sure, but there have been schools and businesses who wanted folks to be able to create templates but who didn't want to grant write access to the templates folder, or have templates shared (for business sensitivity and other reasons), or who didn't want a specific template accidentally or deliberately replaced. Others wanted a limited ability to save safely and to be able to monitor files on the network used by others which is, in part, why Office 2007 has the 'Trust Center' and 'trusted locations'. In Office 2007 there are also a number of new/changed uses for template files other than using them only as the basis for creating a new document, so that one of the questions then becomes how does Word know which template use you're wanting to use In the Save dialog the 'Trusted locations' choice can be accessed through the Places bar. For collaboration, templates might reside on an Office Sharepoint site or other location as well. ============== "Software School" wrote in message news Why do word templates now in 2007 save in the default doc folder, not the templates folder.
