I don't know if it's possible because we use over 100 templates on more than
1000 machines but thank you for your replys! The problem also is when
receiving external documents that have attached templates to someone elses
server it takes a long time too.

One other solution is to copy the templates concerned to your User Templates
folder on your local machine.

If you place templates of the correct name in the top level of that folder,
Word will use them immediately. If not, it then polls the network for six
locations and waits for a time-out on each before concluding that the
templates are not available.

Cheers

The problem is that when opening documents that has been created in word97 or
word 2000 it takes a long time to open them, several minutes. The documents
are attached to different templates that are stored on a server. All the
templates exists and are stored at the correct location. I've read in some
other thread that when the templates are stored on a server it can take a
long time to open them. But the same documents work fine to open in Word
2000! One solotion i've found is to, when the document finally opens, delete
the path so that the document refers to the normal.dot. But this is not a
very good soloution because it's several hundred documents.
I am wondering if anyone have a soloution?
