When a user selects New document I do not want the user to see an array of Microsoft templates.

It needs to be templates created for the organization only.

    Hi,

    This is by design behavior in Office and you cannot remove Office online template from New option.

    I suggest you refer to this similar thread and confirm if the workaround of Suzanne S. Barnhill is helpful:

    If you have any feedback or suggestion about this behavior, you can try to give a feedback to Microsoft about your requirement:

    Microsoft values your opinion. Your feedback goes directly to our engineers and helps us shape the future of Microsoft products and services for all our users.
