how to use a dotx file?
Jan_Wijninckx Dear Jan, I did everything as you instructed, still the template does not appear at the File Backstage. Possibly because - with the single exception of Normal.dotm - the Backsatge is overcrowded with online templates. But I cannot prohibit these online templates as shutting down the internet connection would disable many other features. Any idea how I can persuade Word to display my personal templates?
Tamas60 You're right, doesn't work (it did) that folder. So I used file save as, then selected .dotx, to see the folder location. Comes up as:
C:\Users\username\Documents\Custom Office Templates
No go to File > New > Personal, and you should see the template
So that is the location. I also see that Microsoft says:
/Users/username/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/Office/User Templates/My Templates
Suggest you use the file saveas to get to the location 🙂
