SUMMARY
This article answers some of the more frequently asked questions about using custom templates in Microsoft Word after you have changed the Display menus and dialog boxes in option on the User Interface tab in Microsoft Office Language Settings.
(To change the language for the user interface in Office programs, on the Windows Start menu, point to Programs, point to Office Tools, and then click Microsoft Office Language Settings.)
MORE INFORMATION
When you change the language that Word uses for its menus and dialog boxes, the location of your custom templates is unchanged. They are still stored in the same location with the same file names and the same folder names.
- How can you create a custom Language folder to store custom language templates so that they appear when you click New on the File menu?
Create a new folder and save your custom template in the new folder. When you click New on the File menu, Word includes the new folder as an additional tab in the New dialog box.
NOTE: The location of your user templates may be different on your system. To check where your user templates are located, do the following steps:
- On the Tools menu in Word, click Options.
- On the File Locations tab, click to select User Templates and then click Modify. The location of your custom templates is displayed in the Folder name box.
To add a new tab to the New dialog box, do the following steps:- On the File menu, click Save As.
- Change the Look in box to your User Templates folder. By default, the User Templates folder is located at:
C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates\
- On the Save As toolbar, click Create New Folder.
- In the New Folder dialog box, type the name for your new tab in the Name box (for example, type Languages) and then click OK.
- Click Cancel to close the Save As dialog box.
NOTE: Your new Languages tab will not appear in the New dialog box until you save a Word document or template to the new folder.
- How can you place a custom language template so that it is grouped on one of the existing tabs in the New dialog box and not just on the General tab?
When you save a file as a Document Template (*.dot), Word defaults to the Templates folder. If you create a new folder in the Templates folder with the same name as one of the existing tabs in the New dialog box (on the File menu, click New), Word places the template on the existing tab.
