I want to create a project template for Documentation that will have
templates od word and excel documents. I can create a custome template but
not for generic documents only VB or VC or C#.
Any ideas

If you want to add it to the project node, you will have to create a vsz
file, etc. and put it in

(VB.NET)
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vb7\VBProjectItems

If you just want to add it to the solution node, just put your Word document
in:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Common7\IDE\NewFileItems

You can't use template filtering on a word or excel document. The template
engine is expecting a text file and those documents are not text based.

However, if you can cater to Office 2003, Word and Excel documents can be
XML-based, so you can use XML files.
