Word 2013 - Accessing Personal Templates

Hello

In the Options / Save tab / under "Default personal model location" specify the path where your templates are stored

You are wonderful! I also had the same personal problem, and "proposed" didn't appear in the new tab. I entered this in my save options: C:\Users\Josée\Documents\Custom Office Templates\, and now both words show up. A big thank you, phew!

I didn't find it on the Microsoft site... : )

Hello

This is not a field but a new option in 2013 that 1. - defines the location where our custom templates are saved and 2. - feeds this "Personal" templates tab

So, if in Options/Save/Default personal templates location, you choose D:\MyDocuments\Custom Office Templates
1. Any new template saved as .dotx or .dotm will automatically be stored in this location without having to search through the hierarchy.
2. The templates created in this folder will appear well isolated in File / New / Personal

Even with little hindsight on 2013, I have tested several things that work well, without reproducing your issue. Or perhaps it is related to Windows 8...
If this setup does not work for you, and since I do not know in what order you did things, you should try as mentioned above: by creating a template in the designated path in the save option, to finally check if the "Personal" tab appears in the next File/New

As a last resort, use the same path as that noted in the general file location options C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates
as proposed here by MS to recover templates from previous versions
