Custom vs Shared tabs in Office 2013 / 2016 start menu
When starting Word I have two tabs: One is named "Featured" the other is named "Shared", see picture:
But in PowerPoint one is named "Featured" and the other is named "Custom"
I have configured the setting "Workgroup Templates Path", which points to: C:\Templates\Office where I have copied templates with GPO.
The templates appear on both, so it's working I just need to know why the tab have to different names on some computers.
I also went through the settings (they only exist in Word): Word >Options >Â Advanced> File Locations...
I verified all the paths look the same on a computer where it says Custom and where it says Shared.
Does anyone have an idea?

These Tabs are default in Office, if you configured Workgroup Templates path they will appear - or if you go to Word: Â Word >Options >Â Advanced> File Locations... >Â Shared Templates Path
Give it any value and the tab appears.
Give it any value and the tab appears.

Cool. Thanks for sharing
Who made them?
If it is a custom tab from an addin the tab name is set by xml or a little bit of vba. Probably just an oversight of little consequence. 😊
