Re: Sharing Templates

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



Yes, the Workgroup Templates location in the dialog is meant to give you a
place for shared templates. Put the templates in a folder that everyone can
access, and have each user point their Workgroup Templates location to that
folder. Just changing that setting on your computer isn't enough, everyone
else has to set the same thing.

I would like to create a number of different templates and make them
available to everyone's computer on my team. I would like them to be
able to in Word click on File - New and have all of these templates
show on their computer. I seem to remember that there is a way to do
this but I can't seem to remember how. If I go to Tools - Options
-File Locations what path do I change the "user templates" path? If I
go to Tools - Options - File Location the "Workgroup templates" have
no path. Should I create a path in the Workgroup templates by
clicking "Modify" and save the template there? I am using Word 2003

Thanks in advance for any help.

Best regards,

Dee
