How to get document-level templates in Visual Studio Tools for Office (VSTO)
"To summarize: if you install VSTO 2005 SE on top of pure VS 2005 Professional, you will not have document-level templates. If you want to have them, you need to have VS 2005 Team Suite / Team Edition or you need to install a previous version of VSTO: VSTO 2005. So VS 2005 Professional + VSTO 2005 + VSTO 2005 SE will provide you with document-level templates! "
So my question is, does anyone have a link to download VSTO 2005 (it is no longer available from Microsoft).

As Richard said earlier in this thread, Project Document-Level Templates (Excel Workbook, Excel Template, Word Document, and Word Template) are not included in VSTO 2005 SE or Visual Studio 2005 Professional. To get document-level project templates for a Visual Studio 2005 release, you must have one of the following versions of Visual Studio:
Visual Studio 2005 Tools for Office (This is a completely separate edition of Visual Studio for purchase; it is not a free download).
One of the "Team System" versions of Visual Studio 2005.
The history of VSTO development is somewhat simpler in Visual Studio 2008. In this release, all VSTO projects (add-in and document-level projects) are now available in Visual Studio 2008 Professional as well as the "Team System" version. This includes the add-in and document level projects for both Office 2003 and 2007 Microsoft Office.

Maybe it will help Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Tools for Office 2005 Runtime (VSTO 2005 final release)
VSTO 2005 Redistributable Package installs the Visual Studio Tools for Office runtime, which is required to run solutions built with VSTO 2005. This runtime supports document-level customizations for Microsoft Office Excel 2003 and Microsoft Office Word 2003 and application-level add-ins for Microsoft Office Outlook 2003.
