Office 2007 Templates Location

[AIANDAS]

Hi,
I have found the template URL and I am attempting to save some templates to
the following folder E:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Templates\1033
thinking this is the place I should save them, so when I open up the office
wizard to pick and choose the templates I save will be there.
Of course this is not the case!
Which folder do I need to save my templates in, so that all the users in
my PC will see them as well? I have installed my office in E:
Do I need to default the save in the C: among the common folders or some
other office folder in C:, even though the installation is in E: ? In
addition I want it, so that each particular template, i.e., resumes is
catalogued under that category and not the general.
Thanks in advance!

Hi, You've probably tried this already, but make sure your template path is
as expected using Regedit. In Regedit navigate to the
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Common\General\ key and view
the SharedTemplates and UserTemplates directory values.

Alternatively, to verify your template location through the UI,
1. Click on the Word Options button at the bottom of the File Menu.
2. Select “Advanced†in the left nav, scroll to the end of the “Advancedâ€
dialog and click on the “File Locations†button.
3. Double click on either the “User†or “Workgroup Template†settings.
4. This will bring up a directory dialog, now click on the “Look Inâ€
dropdown to see the full hierarchical path.

To access your local template through File New on Word, Excel or Powerpoint...
1. Bring up the File New dialog,
2. Click on the “My Templates…†link in the top part of the left nav bar.
This will show all compatible templates/documents in your Shared and User
Template folders.

Please confirm when you save as a document as a template, the save
directory automatically defaults to the User Template directory.

Talk to you soon,
John
