I cannot locate the Templates directory to store a new Word template. A search of the Mac shows the templates themselves, BUT does not indicate where they are located.
MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2009)
Assuming Office '11, launch Word '11, select Help and search for Templates. Create and use your own template should answer the question.
27" i7 iMac (Mid 2011) refurb, OS X Yo (10.10), Mavs, ML & SL, G4 450 MP w/10.5 & 9.2.2
While this is very helpful because it does indicate where the templates should be stored, this was not my problem. I am very familiar with Word & other Office templates, creating them, using templates provided by others, and storing them. I have worked with Office on a Mac for about 5 years.
The templates are stored under /Users/username/Library/App... The problem turned out to be upgrading to Mavericks. During the upgrade, the ability to see "Library" directories was removed. Once I found that and how to turn it back on, I was able to easily store the template.
So thanks baltwo....I just wish Apple didn't arbitrarily turn things off with out supplying a long list of Installation Notes that explained how the things they changed affect other apps, etc. Or just leave well enough alone. Sigh...

Yes! This particular change actually occured with 10.7 in 2011.
Sorry about not recognizing that Apple screwed the pooch and hid the user's Library w/Lion and subsequently restored the ability to make it visible with Mavericks. It's been known by most how to make it visible, that I no longer keep it as a solution.
Thanks for the info......appreciate the reply
Ahhhh....it is what it is.....even if you don't like it... Thanks everyone
Where are Word templates stored?
