Excel Templates
I would like to have a couple of custom templates that I have created
display in the "General" or "Spreadsheet Solutions" tabs for a user to select. I placed the templates (sample.xlt) into the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Templates\1033 folder with the other templates but they don't show up as a choice when I go to "General Templates..." What's the trick? |

If you stick your templates into the Spreadsheet Solutions folder they should show up under that tab. If you want a user-created folder to show up on the list of tabs you must first create a sub folder within a folder to store the templates. Then open Word(yes, Word) and ToolsOptionsFile LocationsUser TemplatesModify. Browse off to your folder and OK If you don't mind, click Yes. This sub folder will show up as a tab next to the others only if it contains *.xlt or *.xls files.

Maybe easier if you just make a new folder under the 1033 folder. Stick your templates in there then in Word modify the user templates path to 1033. Not to your folder, to the 1033 folder. Your subfolder will show as a tab.

Thanks Gord! I didn't see a "Spreadsheet Solutions" folder (I'm using Office
2002) so I used your second solution and it worked great. Thanks again. Danny "Gord Dibben" <gorddibbATshawDOTca wrote in message ...
