Please describe where the directory for global templates are kept? This is so we can centralise our resource pool, calendars etc.

Thanks

RE: MS Project

Templates are by default stored locally.

In the drive where MS Project is installed, it should be in your own Documents and Settings\Your name\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates folder.

To check it, open a project and select File|Save As and then change the bottom dropdpwn to read Template. Then click the top dropdown to view the path of your templates folder.

If you want to put these on your network, see your IT Support Team to get a central location for templates set up and then email its path to all Project Users.
