word 2000 template

Change the location of your User templates. Make it the same as the location for the workgroup templates.

If however, the users are going to be making changes to normal.dot then they must have there own normal.dot, so point user templates to a blank directory

I changed the location of the user templates, but I still see all the microsoft tabs. The other predefined file options listed are: documents - mydocuments; auto recover files - c:\documents and settings\username\application data\microsoft word; tools - c:\Office 2000\office; and startup - c:\documents and settings\username\microsoft\word\startup. Could any of these be the problem? Thanks again!

Write a short macro like:

Sub Macro1()
Documents.Add Template:= _
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Templates\1033\Elegant Memo.dot"
End Sub

Attach it to a toolbar or assign a Keyboard short cut.

The tabs are folders in the "templates" folder, usually in "C:/Program Files/Microsoft Office/Templates" or a similar location. Remove the folders and the tabs will disappear.

I've tried suggestions #2 with no luck yet. ANy other ideas?

I would say #3 is the best option. Remove the template files and rid yourself of any uncertainty.

Sorry, I misinterpreted your question. If you would like to set up a separate area, just for your templates, go to Tools>Options>File locations and modify (change) where Word looks for templates.
You can set up your own set of folders. They will appear if they contain at least one Word template.
