OFF97: Templates Missing from Binder Add Section Dialog Box (157490)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Office 97 for Windows
This article was previously published under Q157490 SYMPTOMS
When you click Add on the Section menu in Microsoft Office Binder, some of
the Office program templates (files with .wiz, .xlt, .pwz, and .pot
extensions) may not appear on any of the tabs in the Add Section dialog
box.
CAUSE
Many of the templates that are installed with Microsoft Office 97 include
macros. Because it is better to run macros that are contained in a Binder
section outside of the Binder, these templates are not included in the list
of available files in the Add Section dialog box.
NOTE: The PowerPoint templates with a .pot extension should be included in
the Add Section dialog box because no macros are attached to them.
RESOLUTION
To add one of the PowerPoint presentation templates to a Binder, do the
following:
- On the Section menu in Microsoft Binder, click "Add from File."
- Locate the directory in which you installed the Microsoft Office
PowerPoint templates. The following folders are the default locations:
Program Files\Microsoft Office\Templates\Presentations
-or-
Program Files\Microsoft Office\Templates\Presentation Designs
- In the "Files of type" list, click All Files(*.*).
- Select the presentation template you want to add to the Binder.
- Click Add.
The template is added to the Binder file.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products
listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem
and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it
becomes available.
