Create a Preview in MS Word 2003 Template Window?

Apr 14, 2004 7:17AM PDT

In Word 2003, when you click File | New and On My Computer and bring up the Template window you are able to preview, on the right hand side, the templates that MS has provided for you.
Is there a way to create a preview for user created templates?
Thanks.

I think if it is created as a template (.dot) and saved as such you should see it in the preview.

I appreciate the suggestion but they are already saved as .dot. All are saved as .dot under the path that is designated for Word templates -Tools|Options|File Locations for both User Templates and Workgroup Templates.
I'm still looking for a solution if you have any other suggestions.
