Microsoft Office 2016 – Unmistakably Office, designed for Mac. The new versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and OneNote provide the best of both worlds for Mac users – the familiar Office experience paired with the best of Mac. ![]() Hi all, A short note so that I can remember, and you can find, the template location for Office 2016 on the Mac. Why do I do this? It may appear, and certainly Google will agree, that your template location is: ~/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/Office/User Templates/My Templates BTW, you get Library by holding do the Option key and select Go. Without the Option key being pressed you will not see it. However, the correct path is: ~/Library/Group Containers/UBF8T346G9.Office/User Content/Templates I thought the UBF8T thing might be different for different people but I have checked several different Mac’s and they have the same one. So now you have the location where you can place your templates and Office will find them. Update: • 3/6/16 – Thanks to Rick I was reminded I had not used the proper slash – should be / rather then. • 11/25/15 – Thanks to Ian, you can see below in comments where the stock templates are. Certainly not where one might expect. Much appreciate it Ian! • 9/29/15 – A reader (seen below in comments) asked where the stock templates are stored. He wanted to remove them to clean things up. A good question and I was not able to answer. Plus, I looked quite hard, and used Google, and nothing was found. I even know some of their file names and no luck. Hopefully someone reading this might be able to help? Michael === END ===. ![]() Indeed, this is where “user templates” are stored. But Microsoft does a disservice calling them templates. When I store a template there and then call it up later, the file has the name of the template ad with the dot or dot extensions. You can download and install the Folder Lock application on your computer, but it is not free for a lifetime. It supports 256-bit AES encryption, secure online backup of encrypted files, locker, uninstall protection, and so many security options that no one can easily hack the software. Anvisoft has many security tools for Windows computers, the Folder Locker software by Anvisoft is absolutely free and there was no ad in it. The security application has many protection features for files and folders, such as hide, disable access / modify permissions, password protection and more. Most other programs I use — indeed even Word 2011 — templates open as untitled documents that must be renamed. This may seem like a minor glitch, but these documents are not really templates. With this type of file behavior, users could just as easily locate their own “template,” saved as a doc or docx file anywhere convenient for them. Of course, they’d have to be careful to rename the document appropriately.. But that’s what you have to do with these Word 2016 non-templates anyway. OS X Unlocker essentially patches the installed VMware product so Mac OS X can be installed. It does this modifying some core VMware system files. Browse to the folder where you extracted OS X Unlocker and Run the following files As Administrator ( win-install.cmd and win-update-tools.cmd ). How to run mac os x on pc. I am running VMware Player in Windows XP. I have a Mac OS X 10.2 CD-ROM which I purchaced a while back. I would like to install it onto VMware Player. I created a blank 6 GB WMware Hard Drive and a Configuration File for my computer which uses the Hard Drive as the one above. I hope this (and other problems) are fixed in the final roll out. But I’m not holding my breath. Thanks so much for this column! Regarding the workgroup vs. User templates: I usually work with Word for PC but I believe this is the same for Mac or PC. Word comes with a default location for user templates as you explained, and it has the ability to set any location you want as the Workgroup templates folder. I would not set the workgroup templates folder to the same location as the user templates folder as someone else suggested because, like you say, they’d both be looking in the same location. Typically a business organization that has “firm” templates set up (maybe letter, memo, fax, proposal, etc.) will put all of their templates in the Workgroup templates folder, or in sub folders of it. That way they can add, change, rename, and delete the firm templates without affecting anything end users are doing in their “My templates” location. In both the user/my templates and workgroup templates folders, if you create sub folders and put templates in them, they should show up as category/tabs when you go to create a document from “my templates.” The Word default templates that come with word are somewhere else altogether, as you discussed in this thread.
