The User and Workgroup template locations are both per user. Since
there
are
two template locations settings, each user can point the User Template
path
to their own local template directory and the Workgroup template
directory
setting to the shared location on a mutually accessible drive location
(or
even a network share.) Per the related thread, here's how to set your
User
and Workgroup template locations... Let me know if I can help any
further
or
not completely addressing your original question.
Thanks,
John
In Regedit navigate to the
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Common\General\ key
and
view/edit
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
"Advanced"
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 In"
dropdown to see the full hierarchical path.

John,
What this exercise has done, and correct me if I am wrong, is to help
me
see
the location of where the template(s) is located for that particular
end
user. Is there a location for all users, or do I need to save my
templates
for each and every end user separately?

Hi, The "My Templates" File New dialog no longer contains a
"General"
tab.
Blank templates that previously appeared in the General tab are now
displayed
at the top of the new File New dialog in the area entitled "Blank
and
Recent". (Recently accessed templates will show here also.)
The File New top left nav link, "Installed Templates.." shows all
templates
copied to your system during Office 2007 setup.
The Template Categories listed at the bottom of the File New left
nav
are
all from Office Online.
The "My Templates.." dialog will show all your local templates from
the
User
and Workgroup template locations. If you want tabs to show up in
the
"My
Templates..." directory, it really easy, just do the following..
1. Create one or more directories at the root of your User and/or
Workgroup template folder. Each of these top level directories will
then
correspond to a tab in the your "My Templates..." dialog.
2. Place as many templates as you'd like in these top level
folders.
If
you don't copy any compatible documents in the folders, the tab will
not
show
up when you open the "My Templates..." dialog.
See the related thread at
http://www.microsoft.com/communitie...e5e8&mid=47810d0c-65c5-4423-b80d-c38d249405e9
for tips on verifying your User and Workgroup template locations.
Hopes this helps,
John

I know what the word "taxonomy" means.
What I don't know is what you mean by this: "You know how when you
go
to
the
NEW MICROSOFT OFFICE wizard." Could you give me a step-by-step for
how
you're initiating this Wizard?
Also, which application are you working in? I think you are in
Word,
and
I
think you are talking about when you click the Office File Button,
then
New,
then "My templates" on the left.
I am asking because when I go to OFB | New | My Templates, I don't
see
a
number of tabs -- I just have one "my templates" tab there on this
clean
installation. I don't have a "general" tab like you do. That's
fine,
but
I
want to make sure we're talking about the same thing.

You know how when you go to the NEW MICROSOFT OFFICE wizard,
where
you
have tabs for the various templates? Well I want the new
templates
to
show
up under each corresponding category. For example, if I have new
resume
templates to be categorized there, instead of what I've been able
to
do
so
far is to just place it in the General tab which is silly to have
it
there
from a taxonomy perspective. Sorry for using such a big word.
First
word
that popped into my mind to describe it best ;-)

is
that what you mean by the "Office Wizard to pick and choose the

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!
