Default Attached Templates/Styles

Hiya,

We receive documents on a daily basis from client that attach templates
and/or styles to their documents which point to their internal servers.

When we open them Word hangs for about a minute trying to find them, which
when you have hundreds of documents a day can get quite frustrating!

Is there a way I can reduce the timeout Word waits before giving up and
actually opens the document?

Thanks

Press Escape the moment you see the message appear. That will abort the
attempt to open the server template.

You sometimes can work around the problem by creating a local copy of the
template with the identical name as the one on the remote server. I've had
this work sometimes, but not others. But, it's always worth a try.
