Finder won't show my Library folder
If I want to save a template, specifying a .dotx extension, MS Word can find "My Templates" in my Library folder (Its location is specified in MS Word Preferences). But if I try to open a template in "My Templates", in MS Word, the Library folder is not shown. And Finder will not show the Library folder in a Finder window, although the Library folder is shown for all the other user accounts. It is as though the Library folder has been deleted. (It is not in the Trash folder.) But in Word, I am able to keep saving templates in "My Templates" in Library, and they are shown in Word the next time I want to save a template. The problem is I can't access the templates because Finder doesn't know where they are.
I used Disk Utility to correct the file permissions, but that didn't help. I used Terminal to check the permissions, and it showed Library with the same permissions as the other Folders under the User account; so I should be able to open the Library folder - only I can't "see" it.
So I have run out of ideas. Does anyone know how to correct this. It is probably very simple if one knows where to look.
