Hi-
I have an office that is writing several macros specific
to that office.  I understand that they can be written to
a separate template, and then that template can be placed
in the start menus for all the users.

Is there a way to post that template on a shared drive and
point to it, -rather than on each separate PC. - Or would
that require login scripting with xcopy????

thanks for the advice.......

Cindy

Cindy,

You can do that, but the problem is that the template is
almost always "in use" unless everybody on the network
has gone home (and closed Word), which makes it incredibly
hard to edit or update the template.  So, unless you think
you're hardly ever going to be modifying it -- or if you
can do any such modifying after-hours *and* your network
is very small (all in one building) *and* all of the PCs
are accessible to you so you can close Word if someone
leaves it open [pant pant] -- you're going to want to
use login scripting to give everyone the latest version:

Is there a reason you don't want to do that?  It's not that
hard.

By the way, I assume this was a typo:

The way this sort of template (a "global" template) works
is that it's placed in the WORD STARTUP FOLDER, not in the
Start Menu.  Nobody has to load it explicitly; things in
the Word Startup folder are loaded automatically when you
start Word.  Hope you understood that.

Hope this helps.
