I have a number of custom templates in Word 2003 (running in an XP Pro
machine). I want to import them into Word 2007 (running in a Vista Ultimate
machine). I cannot find a Templates folder to copy them to. Where do they
need to be located on the Vista machine for me to use them in Word 2007? And
how do I get them there?

I am sure the answer is simple once you know it. So many thanks in advance
for your reply.

In Word 2007, click on Office Button | Word Options | Advanced | scroll
down to the bottom, and click on File Locations. Note the location for
User Templates. In Vista, it might be something like
C:\Users\<username>\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates. Whatever it
is, that's where you want to copy your custom templates to.
