Default How do I keep a template attached when sending to folks off-si

Thank you Jay. This is what I thought, however I'm not certain that the
technical abilities of those receiving the file are up to the task of saving,
and attaching a template, but I will give it a try.

The only workaround is to include the template in the email as another
attachment, and include instructions for how to save the template into the
User Templates or Workgroup Templates folder on the destination. Because
that path includes the name of the user's profile, that can't be set in
advance.

I have a template with autotext, styles and macros attached to a
file. The template is located on the company network. The template
attached points to the "wireless path" of this template so that users
can access files from home (via VPN) and work on the files through
the internet.

My problem is when sending these files as attachements in email, or
when users save the files to their local drives, the template
unattaches. Is there a workaround for this?
