Default storing templates in a specific folder

In Word 2003, you could store your personal templates in any folder and tell
Word to look in that folder when you created a new document. I cannot find
the equivalent feature in Word 2007. The only way i can do it in Word 2007 is
to double-click the template in WIndows Explorer.

Default storing templates in a specific folder

Office Button Word Options Advanced File Locations User Templates
will allow you to define the location for your user templates. If this
defined folder doesn't contain normal.dotm, a new one will be created.

You know, I actually looked in the Advanced tab and went through the whole
page of options but I did not see the little button. And Help did not tell me
either. Many thanks for the fast and spot-on response.
