How in the world

Are you supposed to manually download and install these templates, afte
rupgrading to IE 7? Active X doe snot work anymore in IE, and the manual
download leaves you with a cab file that caontains a .dotx file, and a
content.inf. Right clicking and doing an "install" does not work. Active X
has to be one of the biggest disasters in the history of the web.

Right Click the .Cab file and select extract then you can access the
template

Paul.
thanks for trying to help, but please re read my post. I did extract the
contents of the cab file. Inside of the cab file is

30000052.dotx
content.inf

There is no template, which is normally named *.dot

I have the exact same issue. When trying to open the downloaded template, my
computer doesn't recognize the extension dotx. I'm assuming this may be b/c
my version of word is older than the version the template was created in, but
shouldn't there be some backwards techn. built in or is there a download to
allow earlier version users to download these file types?

Greatly appreciate some advice.
Thanks,
Monica

Are you downloading a template for Office 2007 and trying to open in an
earlier version of Word .

dotx is for Office 2007...If you want to use a 2007 template I can convert
it to an earlier version of Office for you and post it on file sharing
site....
