Check the permissions on the files and make sure everyone

connected to the same WAN is using a copy of these files and complained
of extremely slow performance creating the word docs. The slowness
turned out to be 2 login fails of her Domain B account on Domain A for
each word doc created (the word docs do get created properly, just
slowly)! The files are owned by her account in Domain B and she has full
access to all the files. I checked the links and they point to the
spreadsheet that she owns.
