Template, creating one and using an MS template

[DonaldS]

Hello;

I have MS Works v7.0 / Word 2002

I need a template and I found one that I needed on the MS
Word Web site. It was a template called "Legal Pleadings".

I downloaded it using MS IE and now it is somewhere on my
hard drive because it apparently installed it as well and i
don't have a clue as to where.

So, I went back to the Web site using Netscape and from the
templates page, I downloaded the "Legal Pleadings Wizard"
file: 01001407.cab.aspx -

A pop up window advised that if the file downloaded with
the "aspx" extension I "must change the extension back to .cab
before opening it."

I did that.

I Selected a folder and extracted the file to that folder,
and then clicked Extract. I double-clicked on the extracted
file to open it --------- and, nothing. (As far as I can
tell anyway.)

I would really like to use that template, it looks like
just the ticket, but for the life of me I can not figure
out how to do so.

Anyone know how to do it?

First, the legal pleading wizard is not that great, but it may help you do
what you want, if your pleadings work the way theirs do...

Have you tried File => New?

If it is properly installed, you will find it behind the tab for legal
pleadings.

Interestingly enough, I do not not have the "New" option
when I click on Word 2002's File!

I don't know why either. Word 2002 came installed on my
computer when I bought it from Gateway late last year.

Thanks for your reply, btw, I feel a little better about
not being able to find or run that Legal Pleadings template
now.

You may not be seeing New if you still have adaptive menus enabled and
haven't used File | New lately. But you should be able to get to it from the
New Document task pane by clicking on "More templates." If you want to be
able to see all menu entries, open Tools | Customize, select the Options
tab, and check the box for "Always show full menus."

Hi,

Thank you for your reply. I appreciate it

I do not know now to do the drill that you suggested:

-- i.e. "...you should be able to get to it from the New
Document task pane by clicking on "More templates."

How do I do this?

Where is the the "New Document task pane" located? How do I
get there?

TY again,

Regards,

DonaldS

The New Document task pane should be displayed when you start Word.
Otherwise, choose View | Task Pane (or press Ctrl+F1). If some other task
pane is displayed, click the down arrow at the top of the pane to get a menu
and select New Document. All this is based on your having Word 2002, as you
stated in your original post. If you have an earlier version, you have to
get to the File New dialog using File | New (which would require you to put
that command back on the menu).

Hello;

Yes, I have Word 2002 (10.4030.2625) and I found the pane
you referred to.

Under "Neew from Template" I clicked on "Legal Pleading
wizard" and nothing happened. I clicked on one above it,
and it worked.

I clicked on "General Templates..." and saw that there was
a tab for "Legal Pleadings". In that tab was the icon for
"Legal Pleadings", which I clicked on - I got an error
messages that said:

"The feature you are trying to use is on a CD-ROM or other
removeable disk that is not available. Insert the
'Microsoft Word 2002' disc and click OK. [then above the
dialog box below that message it said; 'Use feature from:'
and in the dialog box was - 'Works Suite Word CD or DVD'.

At this point the issue is moot. I went to my other
computer that has Word Perfect on it and made a template to
my liking. The problem is that the Nebraska Court
Administrator's Offfice will not accept transcripts and
depositions on Word Perfect format.

Thank you for the attention that you gave to my problem. I
am giving up on this template project at this time.

I do have another question about Word and template making
if you feel up to it. [smile]

Thank you,

DonaldS

If you got Word as part of Works Suite, then you got a lot of extra
templates in Works, but they may be available only if you start Word from
the Works Task Launcher. It also sounds as if you may have set some of the
templates (including the Pleading Wizard) to Install on First Use, which is
why the CD is required.

Is there a better way to set up legal pleadings?
