Hello. Our business is currently using Office 2000. We are making the switch to Office 2007, and I have a question on template locations. We currently have hundreds of custom templates for word 2000 stored on the network in a common location. (In word 2000 you can set the template directory by going to tools-options-file locations, and set the template directory.)

I cannot seem to find a similar setting for Word 2007. How do I point word 2007 to a network location to look for templates? Is there a way to have this work in addition to the current Word 2007 templates? If I could have the best of both worlds, I'd like it to show words default templates, as well as our custom ones when a user chooses File - New.

Thanks in advance

It is there too but the first secret about Word 2007 is that the pizza button in the top left corner of the screen isn't just cosmetic. It is actually the old File Menu and still opens by clicking or using Alt+F.

Once in there, go to Word Options at the bottom, select the Advanced tab and then scroll to the bottom and you'll find the File Locations button.

Shortcut: Alt+F, I, A, tab, End.
