I'm not sure what you mean by "bring up the choices on the template dialog."
Are you talking about the Templates dialog (also called New when accessed
more conventionally) that you get when you click on "On my computer" in the
New Document task pane? If so, it should be on the General tab unless you
put it in a subfolder (in which case it should be on the tab that represents
that subfolder. Does your template have a .dot extension?

Are you looking for a separate Tab to show up in the Templates dialog or
does the .dot not display at all?

If you want it as an available item displayed on a separate Tab you have to
create a folder within the Templates folder. The easiest way is to open the
.dot, itself, then use Save As to save it in the default location which will
automatically be selected when you choose Document Template from the Save As
Type list in the Save As dialog (choose something else first, then choose
Document Template). You can then create a folder there using the New Folder
button on the dialog's toolbar & save.

Otherwise it will appear on the General Tab.

If it isn't appearing at all you may have moved it to the wrong Templates
folder... There is one in the Program Files hierarchy but your template
needs to go into the one most likely found at:

C:\Documents and Settings\"username"\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates
