Copying Docs with templates From computer to computer
I created a template that contains the outline numbering styles,
toolbars and such that I want to use in documents that many people at work will be using. This is my problem- How can I share this 'master' document with others so they can write the manuals with the outline numbering that I want them to use? I saw when I copied the directory containing all my manuals to my USB drive so I could work on it at home the styles became the styles that were on my computer. So that Heading 1 style from my document turned into Heading 1 style on my computer. Something happened. What? and how do I stop from happening. Most folks at work will just copy the document from the main 'shared' drive to their computer - will the template I used for the document stay or will the normal.dot corrupt it? Hope this makes sense. Thanks for your help Christy K. |

Copying Docs with templates From computer to computer
You need to share your template (and this must be a real template--a *.dot
file--not just a sample document) with the other users.

Copying Docs with templates From computer to computer
Thank you. So could I put my template in the workgroup template
folder? But how do I protect it so no one but me can change it? Can templates be password protected? If so, just right click it and make it read only? I may have more questions as I go along. This is my first foray into templates and styles. Using them has made my manual writing easier but I need to make this foolproof and so no one can change the styles I've set up in my template.

You can protect the template with a "password to modify." Putting it in the
workgroup template folder (if one exists) sounds like a good idea, but since I work at a standalone computer, I'm not really up on these issues. -- Suzanne S.
