Hi,

First post here so be nice

We have a shared template that is located on a shared directory...
Every time someone is closing MS WORD, we get this window saying that
template has been modified and asking if we want to save the
modification.

Is there a way not to get this window so that original template is
never modified/saved.

Thank you

Better to find out what is modifying the template.

Is it possible that the users are directly navigating to the folder where
the templates are stored & actually opening the .dot files, themselves?

Is the template read-only?

Hi Tommy,

If you make a local copy of the template (for testing purposes) and
work explicitly with that, do you still get the message?

If you do, then it's something in how the template has been set up and
you have to track down what that is.

Does the template contain macros?
