Where are Microsoft Office for Mac My Templates stored?

Question

Where do Word for Mac and Powerpoint for Mac store user templates?

Answer 1

In the english version of Word and PowerPoint 2011, templates are stored inside your home folder in ~/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/Office/User Templates/My Templates. In other languages, the User Templates/My Templates part is localized (e.g. Benutzervorlagen/Eigene Vorlagen/ in german).

The Library folder is hidden in Lion, but you can go there by holding down Opt/Alt while clicking the Go menu in the Finder, then selecting Library.
