I have two machines - Side by side. One for me, one for my wife. Both
Identical, both with the same software.

OS is XP Home and Office 2000.

On my wife's machine using Word - File->New exists.
On my machine, the first under the File Tab is Open.

I would like to use the templates on my machine - How do I correct this??

Yes - I have reinstalled Office a few times on my machine.

Any help appreciated ?
 
I don't remember if Word 2000 has this feature, but in more recent versions,
seldom-used commands are hidden from menus. You can display the full
drop-down menu by double-clicking the top menu entry, i.e. "File"

Word 2000 actually introduced adaptive menus. I believe by default they are
enabled, but so is "Show full menu after a short delay." Even if the latter
is not, there are arrows at the bottom of the menu that can be clicked to
display the full menu. But turning off adaptive menus (and combined Standard
and Formatting toolbars) is one of my first "housekeeping" chores on a new
install.
