Well...it's about the same as with 2000, just depends on WHERE you have
things set up. 

Say you have a PC with Win98 and WordXP...you'll find the template dir
under c:\windows\application data\microsoft\templates. Any new folders
under that dir will show up as template tab...but note you must put at
least ONE DOT in the folder to get it to show.

On a WinXP system with XP...you'll find the template dir under
c:\documents and settings\[user name]\application
data\microsoft\templates and again, any new folder will become a tab
once you put something in the folder.

In Word, under Tools/Options/File locations you'll find a listing for
User Templates and Group Templates. WHERE are your group templates
pointing on the server? Toss a new folder under that path and put
something it in and it'll now show up when user's click General
Templates...PROVIDED they have the Group Template path set to that path
in their version.

Windows XP Professional, Word 2002 .

How do I create a new tab for company-specific templates?

In the Word 2000 template location, I simply created a shortcut to the
folder 
with the conpany-specific templates.  When I opened File/New, the Folder
name 
was on a new tab and my company-specific templates were inside.

Thanks,
PJM
