Word2007 New Document Dialog Box
In Word2007 whenever I click the New...-button, I get a dialog box that
defaults to Microsoft Online Templates. I do not want Microsoft Online Templates, never did and probably never will. I would like to change this. I have tried in vain to find a solution to this but so far I have found none. Surely I cannot be the only one finding this dialog box extremely annoying as I have to go through several more clicks to find and launch my templates. So in short: How do I make this button default to my costumized (enterprise) and workgroup templates instead? (You know; the tabbed templae dialog box from way back or - though not fully to my liking - the sidepanel version from previous Word-version) -- Best regards Ulf

Word2007 New Document Dialog Box
This is really a two-part question:
1. When I use Office Button | New, I get a dialog as follows: Left pane: A menu of Templates including "Blank and recent," "Installed Templates," "My templates...," and "New from existing...", followed by a much longer menu of offerings from Microsoft Office Online. Center pane: Top: "Blank and recent" includes "Blank document" and my most recently used template; bottom: "Recently Used Templates" has several other recently used templates. Right pane: Preview (if available) of the template selected in the center. If you click "My templates..." in the left pane, you will get to the familiar New dialog you're asking for. 2. If you want a button that goes directly to the New dialog, use Office Button | Word Options | Customize. Select All Commands, then New Document or Template... Add that to your QAT. -- Suzanne S.

Word 2000) New Document dialog. Right-click the Quick Access Toolbar and choose Customize. Set the category to Commands Not In the Ribbon. Select the entry "New Document or Template..." and click the Add button to put it on the Quick Access Toolbar. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

Glad I could help--though someone else did the same much more succinctly!
