SYMPTOMS
If you install the Contemporary Press Report template (Contprel.dot) from the Value Pack or Web site and then click on Template in the Style Gallery, you will receive the following message when you click the Example preview radio button:

There is no example for this template



CAUSE
The Word 97 template Contemporary Press Release (Contprel.dot) that ships as part of the Value Pack is missing the Gallery Example AutoText entry. The other two optional Press Release templates, Professional Press Release (Profprel.dot) and Elegant Press Release (Elegprel.dot), both contain the Gallery Example AutoText entry.

The Style Gallery uses the Gallery Example AutoText for the Example preview. Without it, you will not have an Example preview available.



WORKAROUND
You can create a Gallery Example AutoText entry for the template by following these steps:
 * 1) Open the Contemporary Press Release (Contprel.dot) template.
 * 2) On the Edit menu, click Select All.
 * 3) On the Insert menu, point to AutoText, and click AutoText.
 * 4) In the "Look in" list, click CONTPREL (Template).
 * 5) For the AutoText name, type Gallery Example, and click Add.
 * 6) Save and Close the template.

You will now have a preview when you go to the Style Gallery, click the template and click the Example preview choice.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.



MORE INFORMATION
"Gallery Example" is a special AutoText entry that the Style Gallery displays when you choose the Example preview. "Gallery Style Samples" is a special AutoText entry that the Style Gallery displays when you choose the Style Samples preview.
