no templates in CS3??? WHYYYYY?

OK.  AFter some digging and reading on the web and browsing around the forums, I've read that templates did come with CS2, but not with later products.  However, I've also read that templates DO come, you just have to know where to find them in windows (common files/adobe/yadayada), but they do not exist on my install.  They also don't exist on the resources and extras disks.

Annoyingly, I have some lovely designs I did in my trial version of CS4, but of course I can't open those in CS3.

WHYYYYYYY?

Shouldn't the CS2 templates at least be available for download?

(for the record, I've found a few shareware downloads, but they are not quite the spiffy, professional looking items I found in CS4 samples)

Can anyone point me to a fix for this?

(I apologize for cross-posting.  I posted this question in the design forums, but it looks like NO ONE answers questions over there).

    Well, something like that, but for inDesign . . .

    Bingo!

    You finally told us which application you are talking about.


    Go and ask in the InDesign forum.

    The problem is that this forum is for questions about the forums themselves and, as has been pointed out, not for questions about adobe products.


    You need to decide which of the applications you need templates for and then ask in the forum for that product, listed on http://forums.adobe.com/

    OK, John, thank you for making this explanation -- that this forum is for

    questions about the forums themselves, and not about products.

    Let me explain why this is not apparent to a new forum user.

    Under the FAQ for this forum, there is no explanation. There is, however, a

    notice that the FAQ is a work in progress.

    Under Forum Etiquette we find this info:

    - Respect others

    - Assume good faith

    - Share what you know

    - Be kind to newbies — we were all new once

    - Encourage others; recognize and praise good work

    - Attract and honor good, knowledgeable people

    - Ask for help, and help others in return

    - Set a good example

    - Add information about yourself to your forum profile

    And finally, under the forum topics being discussed, we find beaucoup topics

    about products.

    I wouldn't consider arguing with you about the purpose of this forum, but

    could you explain how a new user is to distinguish what is what?

    Thanking you in advance for kindness to a newbie,

    Pamela

    CS2 what?

    CS3 what?

    We can't even direct you to the correct forum. you make no sense.

    Wrong forum, Pamela.

    Product questions will not (and should not) be answered here.
