MS Office Forum / Word / Menus and Toolbars / September 2004Word Document Templates
I'm starting up a new computer. I copied three Word templates that I created on my previous computer to a floppy. I downloaded the files from the floppy to c:/program files/Microsoft Office/Templates/1033. However, when I try to create a new document using one of these templates, the template is not listed. Other templates that were originally in the file are shown, but not the new templates I added. > I'm starting up a new computer.

Despite the apparently appropriate name, that isn't (necessarily) the folder where Word looks for its templates. Open the Tools > Options > File Locations dialog in Word and look at the folder named as the User Templates location -- that's where to put your templates. It's probably C:\Documents and Settings\<your name>\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates. See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/WhatTemplatesStore.htm for more information.
