Subject: office 2007 templates and help


Hi all.

I have recently acquired a new PC with Windows Vista and a copy of Office 2007 
Professional.

I have found using Vista to be relatively straight forward in the main and wish 
I could say the same of Office 2007.

I know you can go to the ribbon menu with alt, move between the different 
ribbons with right/left  arrow and tab to go through the items on each ribbon.  
I find the alocation of things on ribbons to be really quite odd however so I 
need to use keyboard shortcuts and I can't remember the shortcut for everything 
so I tried to go into help to find out.  Has anyone managed to get Office 2007 
help working?  I go into help and get a search box.  I type in what I want, in 
this case templates and I press tab and hear Menu Options.  word template is in 
there and I can arrow down to it and press enter.  Pressing f6 does not seem to 
bring up anything readable however.

Secondly, I want to install some templates created in Word 2003 that I use for 
work.  I am trying to find out in which directory I need to put them to get 
them working and do I need to save them as Office 2003 templates?  Once I find 
the right place to put the template, how do I create a new file based on this 
template?  Pressing alt f followed by N seems to bring up some kind of lists of 
lots of templates but the list looks different from word 2003.  I have tried 
putting the file in c:\users\my account name\app 
data\roaming\microsoft\templates which is where Office 2003 templates live but 
Office 2007 doesn't seem to pick them up.

any help much appreciated.

Cheers
