How do I delete dupicated templates in Word 2002

[Guest]

I have a number of dupicate templates which I would like to remove. How can I
do this?

 

[Joe McGuire]

Go to the folder where you keep them and delet them. If you aren't sure
where that folder is located go to Tools, Options, File Locations and look
for the location of user Templates. You may have to scroll a lot, but
that's where they should be. Alternatively you can do a search in Windows
Explorer for Word templates--try searching for *.dot. Note location--there
should only be one. If there seem to be none set your Folder Options to
show hidden folders and repeat the search. You can navigate right to that
folder in Windows Explorer and delete what you don't want. You can also do
this in Word, but be sure you have Word set to Open All Files or to open
templates (*.dot). A word of caution: make sure you are deleting the right
ones! I know, Duh.
