Importing Word 2002 Templates

[Guest]

I have tranferred templates created in Word 2002 to my new computer running
word 2003. I located the word 2002 templates in the path C:/program
files/Microsoft office/Templates/1033.

HOwever, when I select "new office document" and choose "template", I do not
see any of these templates avaialble. Pelase tell me how I can make these
templates appear in the "letters and faxes" tab.

 

[Guest]

In Word, click on Tools | Options | User Information, and note the folder
designated for "Templates". That's where your Word 2002 templates should go.

Thanks for your prompt and helpful reply.

Unfortunatley, ]the path name is trncated. It begins with C//
..../Application Data.

I have tried drilling down in several diretories but I keep coming back to
the same file I already placed them in ... Templates/1033

 

[Guest]

To see the whole path, click on Templates, and then click on Modify (but
don't actually modify it). The default folder is C:\Documents and
Settings\Owner\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates, but yours may be
different.

Beautiful! The templates have been transferred; but they appear iun the
"general"tab.

Do you have any suggestions as to how I can move my letter and fax templates
to the "letters & faxes" tab or do I have to live with keeping them in the
"general tab?"

You can create a custom tab in the File New dialog by creating a subfolder
of the user templates folder and saving at least one template in it. To add
your templates to those on Word's default tabs, create a subfolder with the
exact same name as the tab (Letters & Faxes in this case) and put the
templates there. They will be combined with the Word templates on that tab.

Sorry, I don't know of a way to put user templates into the Letters and
Faxes tab. Someone else might come along with a suggestion though.

[Geoplay]

As you indicated, I created the subfolder, and added two templates to it.
Until very recently they both appeared in the Letters & Faxes Word templates,
but now, they only appear in the 'General Templates' folder. Could you please
advise.

There is no mechanism whereby templates can move themselves between folders.
If your personal templates appear in the General Templates folder then they
are saved in the User Templates folder defined under tools > options > file
locations. If you want them under the tab Letters & Faxes, then they should
be in a folder of that same name which should be a sub folder of the User
Templates folder.
