SYMPTOMS
========

In FrontPage Editor, you cannot delete a template or wizard that appears in the
New Page dialog box.

NOTE: To locate the New Page dialog box, click New on the File menu.

RESOLUTION
==========

FrontPage for Windows
---------------------

Delete the template files using Windows Explorer. The FrontPage template files
are located in the \Program Files\Microsoft\FrontPage\pages\
<template>.tem folder, where <template>.tem is the name of the
template folder. Delete the entire folder and its contents. Each template folder
contains an .htm file (the template) and an .inf file. The .inf file contains
the title and description you see in the New Page dialog box.

FrontPage for the Power Macintosh
---------------------------------

Move (delete) the template files from the <Hard Drive Name>:Pages:
FrontPage:<template>.tem folder to the Trash Can.

NOTE: If you delete the templates that ship with FrontPage you will need to
reinstall them if you want to use them.
