Template folders and tabs

[Guest]

I have created a new folder in my templates folder in Word. When I open word
and choose File -> New, the template folder does not show up. The other
folders that I have in there do, but not the one I just created. This has
worked on other PC's, but not on this one. I have checked the attributes and
it is not a hidden folder.

Did you make sure to put at least one template file in the newly created
folder? If not, you won't see a tab for it in Word.

The tab won't show up until there is at least one template in that folder.
