I've just upgraded from Office XP to Office 03 and when I click "File" then
"New...." I cannot find my old template files! Where the hell are they?!?

Click to expand...

They should still be where XP put them. The installer for Office 2003 does
not remove them.

In Windows Explorer, go to Tools > Folder Options > View and make sure "Show
hidden files and folders" is selected. Then search the drive for *.dot
files. The default location is C:\Documents and Settings\<your
name>\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates but they could be elsewhere.

When you find the location, go into Word's Tools > Options > File Locations
dialog and set the User Templates item to point to that folder.
