My Review 

Publisher is currently a great disappointment for me. I am opening word10 files (all having different formats, styles etc) in Publisher and wanting to impose my template on them. The 'Change Template' button does not offer me the templates I have previously created and saved. They are just not there! I have tried searching for the location of the installed templates, but cannot find them (even after unlocking and revelling directories that nanny locked to keep me safe). Is there a difference between a ‘Save Template’ and an ‘Installed Template’? If so, how do I Install my templates? Using 7, Denis, Scotland.
