Difference between Word startup folder and Office startup fold
Thanks again. Dan "Graham Mayor" wrote: Bearing in mind that you may not share the normal template, you should be able to set the Word startup folder for each user to a common shared location, or you could copy the template to the user's local startup folder as part of a log-in script, whichever works better for you. I think that on balance I prefer the latter approach on the grounds that with shared resources, when one user screws things up they screw it up for everybody. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org "dswirsky" wrote in message ... Thanks! Assuming that we're talking about only running Word 2007 and multiple users, would I have to copy the .dot file to each user's Word startup directory, or is there one global Word startup directory that would cover all users? Dan "Graham Mayor" wrote: Templates in the Word and Office startup folders are loaded automatically when Word starts, however the Office startup folder is not by default a trusted location and so macros there will not run unless you make it so. If you are running both Word 2007 and a parallel earlier version, the best plan it to create separate user template and startup folders for each (from Word Oprions) and keep the templates used separate from one another. I would suggest that you don't use the Office startup folder unless there is a pressing reason I can't think of to do so. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org "dswirsky" wrote in message ... I copied a .dot file into the Office 2007 startup folder. When I tried to run the macro from Word 2007 I got a "disabled macros" message. When I moved the file to the Word startup folder, I was able to run the macro without any difficulty. (The .dot file contains a macro that I only use in Word 2007.) Is this a bug? Is there a reason to put a .dot file in the Office startup folder as opposed to the Word startup folder, or vice versa? Thanks. . . |
