Template Subfolders

[RPMitchal]

Although I have set up subfolders within my "template" folder; when I attempt
to make use of a template saved in one of these subfolders, I do not see any
indication of the existence of any of the subfolder tabs when using the
file|new|templates on computer.

Should I be able to see these subfolders in this situation or am I expecting
something that is not feasible? Additionally, any "work around" suggestions
would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much in advance...

Did you set up these subfolders within the folder specified for user
templates on the File Locations tab of Tools | Options? This will be the
folder where Normal.dot is stored, not the folder where Word's other
built-in templates are stored. A tab will show up as soon as the folder
contains at least one template.

Hey there Suzanne:

That was what I thought: that the tabs would appear as soon as the
subfolders were populated with a *.dot file.

I am able to see the tab for the parent folder (Company Name), but nothing
for any of the subfolders (Inidividuals) to that particular parent.

If you come up with any further suggestions, just whistle. In the meantime
- as always, thanks for all of your previous, present and future assistance.

Sounds like you've nested things too deep. You can have only one level of
folders below the top-level folder specified for "User templates" on the
File Locations tab of Tools | Options. If you think about it, this makes
sense: there is no way for a dialog to have subtabs to the tabs.

Suzanne.

I can see where the situation makes sense concerning the subtabs. However,
sometimes endeavors do not make sense until one gives it a try. The "aha"
moment doesn't always kick in until further down the road.

As always, thanks so much for your assistance in this and every regard thus
far.
