UBF8T346G9.ms is the only folder that is similar. There is no U BF8T346G9. OfficeThe other file choices in that location are related to Kaspersky software, Preview, dropbox, etc. Under UBF8T346G9.ms the folders are: com.microsoft.autoupdate2;MerpTempItems andcom.microsoft.autoupdate.fba. I tried the other approach through Word preferences and was able to get to User Templates modify. I could see the list of template folders by date but all are greyed out, even recent ones.

I was unable to delete or do anything with them. Thanks for your help, Any other thoughts? The problem seems to be that you selected Word 2016 when you posted but your screen shot reveals that you're actually using Word 2011. User templates are stored in a completely different location for each of those releases of Mac Office. Also, the original path you mentioned is to the wrong Library folder.

The one you went to is the one on the main level of your Macintosh HD, but the location you need to go to is the Library for your specific User Account. That Library folder is a Hidden folder.

To get to it: • In Finder open the Go menu • Hold the Option key. Library will appear just below Home • Select Library, then navigate to: Application Support/Microsoft/Office/User Templates BTW: What Qing Tang wrote about Preferences>Settings for word format 5x8 mac 2017. File Locations is useful only for designating a different default Location for the listed items. MacOS does not permit moving, renaming or deleting files from within applications programs.

Best external hard drive for mac 2018 free. Along with the high storage capacity and USB hub capabilities, the drive comes loaded with extra features.

I have no idea why it even was suggested as a means of deleting template files. Please mark HELPFUL or ANSWERED as appropriate to keep list as clean as possible ☺ Regards, Bob J.
