I have some documents that were created with a custom template in the default
Microsoft location on my C drive. It was found out that others could not use
some macros when opening these docs on their computer so I copied the
template to a shared location on a network drive.

I went into the docs and changed the location of the template
(Tools|Templates and Add-ins|Document Template). It does not save the new
location after I type it in. It keeps showing the template on my C drive.

Sorry if this is not the right group. I tryed this twice in
....office.templates.misc and it never showed up.

Help!

I am no expert when it comes to work-group templates. But have you tried
moving or renaming the template in your C-Folder?

About the only thing I have discovered is that you cant attach any template
that is not in the default microsoft directory. You can attach templates from
the Workgroup templates area. I REALLY hate Word.

FWIW, I have no trouble creating a document from template A, and later
on attaching a different template B saved on my Desktop [Word 2000]. I
would be surprised if this had been changed in later versions.
