Load or unload a global template or add-in program

Applies to: Microsoft Office Word 2003

Templates (template: A file or files that contain the structure and tools for shaping such elements as the style and page layout of finished files. For example, Word templates can shape a single document, and FrontPage templates can shape an entire Web site.) and add-ins (add-in: A supplemental program that adds custom commands or custom features to Microsoft Office.) can be loaded either for the current session only or whenever you start Microsoft Word.

Do one of the following:

Show Load a global template or add-in

On the Tools menu, click Templates and Add-Ins.
Click the Templates tab.
Under Global templates and add-ins, select the check box next to the template or add-in you want to load.
If the template or add-in you want does not appear in the box, click Add, switch to the folder that contains the template or add-in you want, click it, and then click OK.

Show Unload a global template or add-in

On the Tools menu, click Templates and Add-Ins.
Click the Templates tab.
To unload a template or add-in but leave it in the Global templates and add-ins box, clear the check box next to the name of the item.
To unload a template or add-in and remove it from the box under Global templates and add-ins, click the item in the box and then click Remove.

Notes

The Remove button is unavailable when the template you select is located in your Startup folder.
When you unload a template or add-in, you do not remove it from your computer — you only make it unavailable. Where you've stored the template or add-in determines whether it's loaded when you start Word.
