Templates option

[Guest]

I'm using O2007B2TR on Windows XP. I love the new look! Like everyone else
i got used to the "template folder" and "start new office document". I would
like to have these back, PLEASE! I have made several templated for
several of the office programs, word, excel, publisher, etc. How can I
access these templates from O2007B2TR, or is it still in the works?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreicated!

Office 2007 still has template folder locations. Have you tried looking under
your user profile?

Hi and thankyou, I think my question is more regarding the convience that
these folders offered they were always in the start menu. Would it be
possible to put a short cut on the start. I didn't see the templates. I'm
assuming the original was deleted with O2003? Yes I do have back up copies
of these particular templates.
Thanks again for the assistance.

Aha. Yes, as I recall this functionality was removed in Office 2007 (although
I can't swear to it, as things do change from beta to beta). I know the
"New..." entry in the Right-click menu (Windows Explorer) still lists Excel
and Word documents. The Excel one actually works The one for Word
generates a plain text file, rather than a true Word document, and I
understand this is *not* going to be fixed (although you never know...).

You could certainly create a shortcut to the folder where these templates are
found and drag it into the START menu.

Hi, great! Now the second part of that question, I found my original
templates still on the comp. Would the "new shortcut" to the original file
create any possible conflicts, they are located in a file labeled "1033"?

I'm not sure what kinds of conflicts you're thinking of, but there shouldn't
be any, in a general way. Any individual template could be damaged in such a
way that Word 2007 isn't able to use it, but that's just a "theoretical"
possibility, not a conflict in the way I interpret the term.
