Templates

[FurryFred]

I have just updated to Office 2007 from 2003

I have several Publisher templates in my own templates folder on D:\\

How can I point the templates section of Pub 2007 to my own templates
instead (or as well as) of the standard Publisher stuff?

There is a template folder for Publisher, have you tried dragging the templates
into the default folder? They are in a folder similar to this:
Windows XP
C:\Documents and Settings\<<user name>>\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates
Vista
C:\Users\<<user name>>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates

Thanks Mary,

From past experience I do not like saving any documents or templates
on my C:\ drive having lost some in the past.

Is there a way that I can change the default location foe templates?

You could save your templates as Publisher files. Preface the file with the name
template so you can find them easily.

It is built into the program that the templates go into a specific folder. If
you look at the template folder you will see the .dot files are there too.

Templates are always saved in that subfolder of your Application Data
folder. The only way to change the template location would be to change
the location of your user profile.
