For a Microsoft Word 2000 version of this article, see 224766.



SYMPTOMS
When you add a template to the Templates and Add-ins list in Microsoft Word, the check box for the template may not remain selected. Therefore, the template is not automatically loaded when you restart Word.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur because the template must reside in the Word Startup folder to be automatically loaded when you start Word.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, move or copy the template to the Word Startup folder. To do this, use one of the following methods, as appropriate for the version of Word that you are running.

Microsoft Office Word 2007
The default location for the Word 2007 Startup folder is as follows:  In Microsoft Windows XP and in Microsoft Windows Server 2003:

C:\Documents and Settings\ \Application Data\Microsoft\Word\STARTUP

 In Windows Vista:

C:\Users\ \AppData\Microsoft\Word\STARTUP

Microsoft Word 2002

 In Windows 98 and in Windows Me with profiles enabled, or in Microsoft Windows NT 4.0:

C:\Windows\ \Application Data\Microsoft\Word\Startup

</li> In Microsoft Windows 2000:
