I downloaded a recipe template. I open a new Word 2002 doc and I want to
load the template. How do I do it. The download is located in My
Documents/temp

Is it a doc or a dot?
If it's a doc just open it and use it or convert it to a dot for future use.

Likewise if you want to open a .dot file and your Files/Open
menu doesn't show it, you need to open the Files of Type
drop down list and click on All Word Documents to allow it
to show.

Can't find the Files of Type dropdown list.

In Word click on File, Open and at the bottom of the file
menu it will show the file name window and a window just
below it labeled Files of Type and it may have .doc in it.
I see in your post below mine that it is a .dot file. I
always leave All files in the File of type window selected
that way I see all files. Of course not all files can be
opened in Word.

You have to move it to the template folder then, so it will show up in Word
under File | New ...Templates on this computer...blah blah blah.
Then to use it you'd do a File | New...from Templates on this computer and
you'll see it in the list.



| It's a DOT file. (Recipe.dot)
