Manipulate template category

I have created a fax template in MS Word 2003 and wish to have it displayed
in the 'Letters & Faxes' tab displayed within word however, I can only save
it, and have it displayed on the 'General' tab.

How can I manipulate it so that the document template will show under the
'Letters & Faxes' heading tab?

Thanks in advance!

To add a template to any of the tabs other than General, go to the User
Templates folder and create a new subfolder whose name matches the title of
the desired tab -- in this case, create a 'Letters & Faxes' folder. Put your
template in that folder, and it will appear along with the other templates
on that tab. (The built-in templates don't exist as files unless you make a
change in the template and save it.)

You can also create a new tab different from any of the existing ones by
creating a new folder with some other name within the User Templates folder
and putting at least one template in the folder. Empty folders don't appear
as tabs in the dialog.
