How do you add a "tab" to the templates directory

[Brendan]

Is there a way to add a tab to the templates directory. I have about 15
custom templates and would like to deploy them to everyones "Word" via our
network. Deploying is not the issues, it is creating the extra tab. Also,
is this format kept in the normal.dot template or somewhere else?

I was told I could simply add a directory via Window's Exploere and that it
would just show up. That did not work.

What version of Word are you using, and are you sure you added the folder to
the correct directory? Check Tools - Options - File Locations - User
Templates... for the correct folder into which you would create new folders
that would give you additional tabs.

If this is Word 2003, this should work. Just retested here to verify.

One proviso - the folder must contain templates before it becomes available.
