I use several different custom templates, and when I opened a New document my next choice used to be a window containing all the templates I'd stored. Recently I've had to re-install both Office 2010 and Word 7 Professional. Naturally I saved important things (such as the templates folder) and copied them into the new system after re-installation. Now when I open a new document I first have to select My Templates to open exactly the same window that used to open straight away. How can I change things so that New Document defaults directly to the My Templates folder? My good friend Mr Google hasn't been able to help me.	colmack (2939)

You should be able to download the Office 2010 GPO from MS, and edit your Word settings using the group policy editor.	FAB (6923)

I'm sure I never used to have this problem, it's only since I re-installed. But it's the same installation - I figured I must have altered a setting originally and just forgotten what it was.	colmack (2939)
