Anne,
I don't find a listing of Recently Used Templates in Word 2003.  The only 
listing I have is Recently Opened Files.  The number of items listed there is 
set in Tools --> Options --> General Tab.

But, if you might be referring to the dialog box where Word lists your 
Templates on the General Tab and you only see 4 then maybe the following will 
help from Help in Word 2003 
----------------
The Templates folder
By default, templates (including Normal.dot) are stored in C:\Documents and 
Settings\user name\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates. Template files that 
you save in the Templates folder appear on the General tab in the Templates 
dialog box, which you display by clicking New on the File menu, and then 
clicking On my computer in the New Document task pane. Any document (.doc) file 
that you save in the Templates folder also acts as a template.

If you want to create custom tabs for your templates in the Templates dialog 
box, create a new subfolder in the Templates folder and save your templates in 
that subfolder. The folder location must match the path listed for User 
Templates on the File Locations tab (Tools menu, Options command). The name you 
give that subfolder will appear on the new tab. If you save a template in a 
different location, the template will not appear in the Templates dialog box.

-------------
To test I copied a template (*.dot file) into my folder "C:\Documents and 
Settings\user name\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates" and the next time I 
opened Word the template was listed on the General Tab.  So all you may need to 
do is copy your dot files into the "C:\Documents and Settings\user 
name\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates" folder.

Hi all
I use a lot of different templates while working within Word but I can only
ever have 4 showing up as available in "Recently Used Templates" when
I show
the new document taskpane.  Is there any way of increasing this number to
save me so many key strokes in my normal day!

TIA.

Anne
