Hi,
Do you mean the folder displayed in the Available Templates pane under
CustomTemplates in Word? To my knowledge, we have no way to custom it.

Using SharePoint 2013 Document Library for Office 2010 Workgroup Templates

Dear all,
we are about to introduce SharePoint 2013 and are looking for a way to use it as location for our Office 2010 workgroup templates. But when I try to configure it with in Word options it tells me that URLs are not allowed here.
I've searched this forum but saw no thread that has a solution so far.
So I just want to know if anyone implemented this feature or even has an idea that could work...
Thank you in advance,
Uwe

Hi,
Based on my tested in my environment ( Word 2010 & Share Point 2013), we can't point to the SharePoint library URL directly with Workgroup Templates.
Please try the workaround:
Sync the SharePoint site libraries to local disk.
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/support/sync-onedrive-for-business-or-sharepoint-site-libraries-to-your-computer-HA102832401.aspx
Set the Workgroup Template to a local drive (to create the reg key)
Open regedit and set the location to the mapped drive:
Setting Name: SharedTemplates (Type REG_SZ)
Reg Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Common\General

Office 2010 Administrative Templates - Missing Policies

I have an Office 2010 GPO that needs to enable a policy called "Disable username and password" located at:
Computer Configuration --> Admistrative Templates --> Microsoft Office 2010 (Machine) --> IE Settings
It seems that policy, and any policy that should be there, does not exist.
I have added the admistrative template (.adm) files for the Office 2010 32-bit version. I have even added the .admx files to \\mydomain\sysvol\mydomain\Policies\PolicyDefinitions as well as added .adml files to "" ""\en-us.
Is there a step that I missed? Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Jasmin

Hi Jasmin,
Before going further, I want to confirm where we got the administrative template files. Besides, we can follow the path of the central store to open
the admx file of Office 2010 to check whether some files are missing.
Regarding Administrative Template files for Office 2010, the following article can be referred to for more information.
Office 2010 Administrative Template files (ADM, ADMX, ADML) and Office Customization Tool
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc178992(office.14).aspx
In addition, we can try downloading the files from the following link.

Office 2007 + Custom template (dot/dotm files) on terminal server -- issues

We are trying to transition to a terminal server + thin-client setup.
The TS runs Server 2008 R2, and the Office version is 2007 (for compatibility reasons -- we have a lot of macros etc that won't run with Office 2010).
The normal.dotm for Office, Excel & Word are customised in order to insert custom macros, font styling etc. A batch file runs on logon, copying the custom normal.dotm files from a network share to the local computer's C: drive in a folder called "Templates".
So it'd copy the data from "\\SERVER1\share\normal.dotm" to "C:\templates\" on the machine.
Then, a GPO would re-direct the location for the normal.dotm file from the default location to the new location (i.e. C:\Templates\) from above. This allowed updating of custom macros etc to all computers on the net. It was messy, but it worked.
Now that we're wanting to transition to terminal server, we're having an issue where the script still works, however when closing Outlook / Excel / Word, users are receiving a message stating "The file normal.dotm is in use".
I'm guessing what's happening is, the first person to log on to the Terminal Server and launch their instance of Outlook/Word/Excel is getting an exclusive handle to this file; And subsequently launched instances get this error.
There is nothing _wrong_ with the system per se -- everything works, however every time an Office app is closed, the user gets the annoying message.
What is the correct solution to this? Is there a cleaner way to deploy macros/styling settings rather than modifying normal.dotm? Another solution I can think of is to create a copy of the templates/normal.dotm for every single user in their %AppData% folder
and tell Office to use the %AppData% copy -- but this would mean as many copies of the templates as there are users which doesn't seem like a very clean solution.
I'm open to suggestions and insights on the cleanest and most efficient way to solve this problem.

Hi
update to this issue from my side:
We opened a Support call for this issue and got it solved.
The SQL script to recreate a fresh Enterprise Global (eglobal.SQL) does not exist for Project Server 2013 currently. But the support created one for us. So if someone has this issue, contact Microsoft Support, they will provide you the script.

Office 2010 from template

Just downloaded the eval version of 9.0.1 to try it out.
I figured I'd start with something easy, from a Template. Office 2010 seemed like a good candidate.
I installed Office 2010 on a clean machine, then generated the virtual app using the template.
But when I launch the .exe (even on the same machine where I created it), I get "Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010 - The application was unable to load a required component: MSVCR90.DLL. Please contact the publisher of this application for more information."
Any ideas?

Office 2010 Workgroup Templates

Dear Community,
We are currently having an issue where the clients are closing outlook and reciving a popup to save NormalEmail.dotm.
The users do not have a normalemail.dotm file located under %appdata%\Microsoft\templates folder and when we add the file there this issue seems to disappear.
the users workgroup templates in winword is an FQDN (\\Server\Share\) and not a mapped drive.
Could someone please answer the following questions
1. is the normalemail.dotm file loaded from the user templates path or the workgroup templates path?
2. does the user require write access permissions to the folder that the normalemail.dotm is located ?
3. is normalemail.dotm required in %appdata%\microsoft\templates ?
thank you in advance

as stated
"The users do not have a normalemail.dotm file located under %appdata%\Microsoft\templates folder
The users workgroup templates are located on a network drive which is read only.
yes they do have access to their own profile path's

Word 2010 custom template order

Hello,
I have managed to create and deploy a set of custom Word templates but I am having trouble setting the order of the templates. I have created the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Common\Spotlight\Providers but the order of the
templates is seemingly governed by the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Common\Spotlight\Content key.
What I want to be able to do is display the templates in alphabetical order by template name. This must be possible but I'm struggling with this.
Any assistance appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Mark

Hi,
If you want to display the templates in alphabetical in Word 2010, based on my tested in my environment, I found the issue is related to order of the templates in config.xml.
We may try to make the "featuredtemplate title" in alphabetical order.
o:featuredtemplate title="Template 1"

Custom tranparent folder icons

Hi. I was wondering how I get folders to support custom transparent icons. I know how to copy an image to the clipboard and paste it to the destination icon it the Get Info window. What I want to do now is incorporate transparent pixels so I can make clean looking folders instead of square blocks with pictures in them.
Don

While it is possible to do it "by hand" it is not especially easy. The easy way is to either find such icons online, ResExcellence is one source, or to use the shareware program Iconographer to build your own:

You can try Iconographer for free. If you like it the shareware is a mere $15.

Custom Folder Icons

Alright, 8330 Curve with Sprint, running 4.5
When I upgraded from 4.2, I wanted to get rid of the Voice Activated Dialing feature, as well as several other carrier-specific features that I didn't want to take up space.....so I went in and removed the associated files, using a tutorial widely available. I did know when doing this, that I would lose the ability to create custom colored folder icons. No biggie.
Especially no big deal, when I used the standard Sprint theme, which has some very nice looking folders for IM/Social Networks/Entertainment.
However, I recently changed themes just to the simple BB L theme, and of course, lost all of those icons. I found a post taken from another page, which gave a tutorial, using BBFileScout to load custom folder icons into the BlackBerry. However, I have a small problem. I don't have a subdirectory for "Folders" where it should be - presumably due to the removal of the VAD.
Any suggestions?

I don't think there is as the custom icon information is stored as a separate fork, which SMB has no knowledge of.
A couple of possiblities are:
1) Enabling SFM (Microsoft Services for Macintosh) on the windows server. You can have the share mapped via SMB and AFP.
2) On the server use ExtremeZ-IP http://www.grouplogic.com/products/extreme/overview.cfm
3) Maybe on the clients use DAVE http://www.thursby.com/products/dave.html

Custom templates deploying for office 2010

Hello
I am stuck on deploying custom office templates following the guide on http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc178976(v=office.14).aspx
The problem is, templates for Word, Excel, PowerPoint are no problem.
but what about Theme Templates, Chart templates??
I can put theme templates under "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Document Themes 14", but is it the best way?
We want to have a common plats for templates, not per user. Like C:\Office\Templates
Thanks for any input.

Hello,
You can use Microsoft Office Word to change the location in which your new templates are saved. To do this, follow these steps:
Note If you use Word 2010 to change the location in which your new templates are saved, you also change the location in which
All other Office program templates are saved.
Start Word.
Choose Options from the File menu.
Click Advanced.
Under General, click File Locations.
Click User templates, and then click Modify.
In the Modify Location dialog box, change the setting in the
Folder name list or the Look in list to the folder in which you want to save your new templates. Then, click
OK.
Click OK or Close to close the Options dialog box.
The changed path is noted in the Windows registry. The path is used the next time that you want to save a new template.
You can also create custom tabs that appear in the Templates dialog box by creating a new folder in the Templates folder in your profile. Tabs that have the same name as a new folder appear in the Templates dialog box. These tabs
let you categorize your new templates even more.
Custom Tabs:

Office 2010 deployment - wont apply custom .MSP file

Hi all,
I am creating a new deployment environment for our company and having some issues with Office and adminfiles.
I basically cannot get setup to apply the custom MSP file from my network share, either using MDT application deployment, nor manually using the command prompt once the machine has been built.
I was also informed by several documents that any patches (which I assume to be MSP's and MSU's) that are present in the \Updates\ folder during setup will automatically be applied. This does NOT happen for me. It completely ignores my MSP when it's in there.
The error I get when trying to parse the admin file is pretty basic. It just says: "path or file specified with /adminfile did not contain any patches"
This is the command i'm using: setup.exe /adminfile "Updates\mymsp.MSP"
I've also tried using the full path: setup.exe /adminfile "\\domain\server\apps\office\updates\mymsp.msp"
None of that works.
Any ideas??
NB. It DOES work when I copy the MSP file to a local disk and execute from there. That adds an unnecessary manual step to my builds though, which I want to be completely automated. It also means I have to create a batch file to copy it locally first.

Hi Greg,
do you use a config.xml?
Yes: Please add the following line to the config.xml:
<Logging Type="Verbose" Path="%TEMP%" Template="Office_2010_ProfessionalPlus_Install(*).txt" />
No: Please create an empty config.xml and copy&paste the following line:
<Configuration Product="ProPlusr">
<Logging Type="Verbose" Path="%TEMP%" Template="Office_2010_ProfessionalPlus_Install(*).txt" />
</Configuration>
The above lines are customized for Office 2010 ProfessionalPlus. Then run the setup again, include the config.xml-file:
setup.exe /adminfile path\file.msp /config path\config.xml
The setup should write an extensive log to the temp-folder (%temp%). The logfile will show you, if setup can locate the specified msp-file and is able to parse it. If it does not work out, post the logfile here.

Is there a way to create a "common desktop" for all RD/TS 2012 users? (Office 2010 icons on the dekstop, for example.)

Hello! Just like the title, is there a way to create a "common desktop" for all RD/TS 2012 users?
I know how to do this using regular W7 workstations and 2008 Servers, but the "Default" folder under the USERS directory is gone and I'm not sure how to get the icons there in Windows 8, let alone Server 2012 Remote Desktop.
I've installed Office 2010 on the 2012 server, but every end user that logs in has to manually type in "Word," "Excel." "PowerPoint." etc from the metro interface, then right-click each icon to add the shortcut to the desktop.
Given the... uh.. unfamiliarity of our endusers around the computer, this really isn't the best option. What I'd like is them to log on and have all the Office icons ready and availible for them.
Any ideas?

Hi,
You can edit the local GPP and create a desktop shortcut for all users.

Include all updates for Office 2010 PP during custom network install

Hello...
I'm currently doing a custom network install of Office 2010 Professional Plus 32bit edition. The custom install is working fine with the MSP file in the \Updates folder.
I would now like to add all of the current updates, hotfixes, and service packs to the \Update folder so that Office 2010 is completely up-to-date when being deployed. I understand that I need to put the MSP files for these updates, hotfixes, and service
packs in the \Updates folder.
A couple questions:
1 - Is there one place that I can download all of the Office 2010 PP 32bit edition updates, hotfixes, and service packs... Excluding any 64bit edition updates? A repository of some sort?
2 - I'm assuming that if the hotfixes, and updates are downloaded as .CAB, I first need to extract it, get the .MSP file and put that into the \Updates folder?
3 - I think Service Packs come down as .exe's??!! If so, do I just put the .exe files in the \Update folder as well or do I need to run something special to extract them like I do with the .CAB files
I appreciate any help someone can give. If there is a better way to accomplish this, I'm open to all suggestions :)
Thanks... Frank

Deploy custom templates in Office 2013

Hi All,
We have been using the backstage view of Office 2010 to deploy custom templates, as described in the TechNet article
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc178976(v=office.14).aspx
We recently upgraded to Office 2013 and have not been successful in getting our templates to show up in the backstage view. We have tried creating the spotlight registry keys under
the \Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\Spotlight but this was also unsuccessful.
Has anyone been able to deploy custom templates using the 2007/10 spotlight approach outlined in that TechNet article?
Thanks
Dan

Thank you Max,
Can you please specify how the permissions should be set to allow Word 2013 to access SP 2013 via the XML file? Is it enough to simply be logged into SharePoint with Contribute rights to the library or is there more that needs to be done?
Hi Katie,
I believe Contribute permissions are enough for this case.
Have a look at the following solution, see if it works for your situation:
http://zasharepoint.blogspot.com/2014/04/sorry-we-couldnt-find-your-file-is-it.html
More hints to troubleshoot this issue:
Have you tested this issue on another machine?
Is proxy used?
Does the SharePoint environment has complex permission settings (e.g. the inheriting permissions are broken, or cross domain environment, etc.)?
