Setting Up for Personal Templates
If you want to create your own custom personal templates and access them from the Start or New screen, you should create a My Templates folder (New!)—such as C:\Users\user name\My Templates—and then specify the folder as the default for your personal templates (New!). If you don’t create a folder, Microsoft creates one named Custom Office Templates in the C:\Users\user name\Documents folder. You can specify your default personal templates folder in the Options dialog box under Save. After you set up your personal templates folder, you can access them from the Start or New screen under Custom (New!).
