Xerox Template


Posted by Chris Jones on September 04, 2001 7:13 AM

Hello there,

I've created a form in Excel that I want to use as a Template. I want this as a worksheet option when you go to the 'File' menu and choose 'New'.

I can do this by putting it into the directory C:\os\Profiles\user_name\Application Data\Microsoft\Excel\XLStart

However, the company I work for insists I put it into another folder on a drive that is accessed by everyone.

Does anyone know how to use a different folder so that this template becomes an option when a new worksheet is created?


If you don't know what I'm talking about, I will try to make myself more clear.

Thank you,

Chris

Chris: There is not an easy way to do this in excel. You can work around it by setting the Workgroup Template file location to the shared drive. The catch is, you do this in Word under Tools>Options>File Locations.
