Visio 2003 - Location for templates & category folders...

[Birmangirl]

I have added an entry to the the File Paths, only for templates. I'd like to
be able to see my personal templates with the other category folders.
When I try and save a template, my path defaults to the last file path I
used and not the one I specified.
Even if I browse to the folder that contains the standard templates and save
there, my template is not visible in the category folders.
How do I do both - ensure the path is correct and see my own category folder?
Thanks in advance
Amanda

Use the tools=>option=>advanced=>path and add it in template path (separate
different path with ";").Add the path where your template are.
If you want to keep some image of you template. First add in your template
some shapes that will reflect the features of your template. In the
file=>properties check "the save prewiew" and save your file as template.
Reopen the template as original, open the drawing explorer, right click on
the root and choose protection to check preview. Delete all the shapes in
your model (and in the stencil document of your model to decrease the size
of your model) and save. Hope it can help.

Thank you for responding Michel, but I've already tried this and I still
cannot see any category folders or force the file path to look at the correct
location.

You must be sure there are .VST file in the directory you specify.
