With respect I don't understand what you are trying to do. Any templates
you save in your User Templates folder (Tools, Options, File Locations)
ought to show up when you click File, New--and depending on your veroisn of
Word you may have to tell Word that the templates are on your computer
(duh!). If you want to add something to your Fax Cover Template or change
something in it, you ought to open that template itself and make the
changes. You don't have to create a new template, although you can
accomplish the same thing by just opening a new document based on that
template, making the changes and then saving it as a template--which, for
Word I guess technically amounts to a new template. Maybe I don't
understand the "Global" part, in which case I apologize. But the only
"global" template I know of is Normal.dot. That is the thing Word often
asks me if I want to modify--usually a sure sign Word did something nasty
behind my back. I am not really sure what these other things--like
Templates & Addins--are for. Hey there is one heck of a lot about Word I
don't understand. Some of it is utterly beyond me. Like macros. Tried to
read 2 books on the subject (one of them was for beginners!!!) and decided
there are certain mysteries some us are just not meant to plumb. But I
certainly have modified my own fax cover templates--many times, in fact--and
this is how I have done it without any problems. And I have made changes to
Normal.dot this way, too.

What exact steps are needed to save a Global Template?

I have read the Checkbox Template Notes document and the one on templates
at
the addbalance.com website (both very informative). However, I am still
unclear on the exact steps to achieve this.

I saved it as CheckboxTemplate.dot into my User Templates folder and then
used Templates & Add-ins Add and it looked like it added it to a global
template (it was listed with a check mark in the box like the Adobe ones
listed). But when I try to add the Check Marks it did not show the
option.

Then I tried another approach. Through Tools Options, I found the
location of the Startup for Word, and copied the CheckboxTemplate.dot to
that
folder. Closed Word, opened it up, and when I went to View Toolbars the
CheckBox Toggle toolbar was not listed.

Help pls. All I want to be able to do is add check-able boxes to my fax
cover page(without creating a whole form)! Working on a stand-alone
WP2000
on XP.

TIA!
