Migrating Word Templates
I recently upgraded my computer to Windows 8 and want to migrate my word and excel templates to the new computer.
The C:\Users\Roger\application data\
Folder is blocked and won't allow access - I tried various security changes to gain access but had no luck. Searched the web and found no answers there.
Can anybody offer a viable suggestion.

Computer had been renamed Roger Home - corrected that and now I can get to C:\Users\roger\AppData\Roa ming\Micro soft\Templ ates\
Thanks

Is "Roger" a user name you have used in the Windows 8 installation, or was that a user name you only used in the previous operating system?
If only used previously, have you tried creating a user with that name in your new environment so you can then log-on & copy the files you need to, say, the root of your hard drive (or to an external hard drive/memory stick), or any other folder accessible to all users?
BFN,
