Default Word Template. How to prevent word using Others local template

There is nothing you can do to stop the users screwing around with the
format of your document, whatever you do. If you name your template
something like "alskdjasdkljasdlkjaskdlaslkdjaksd.dot" then 'unlikely' is a
sufficiently remote possibility that you can ignore it.

Hi Jezebel

This works most of the time however I have just been caught out and the
document under their template looks very unprofessional.

What I am looking for is a technical solution that does not rely on
chance.
"unlikely" is not a 100% guarentee as I have already found out.

Thanks for your assistance.

Regards Louanne

Hi

I am unable to control the names of the templates that my customers
have
and
cannot ensure that they are unique.

What I am looking for is some way to stop my documents from picking up
other
templates.

Hi

I created a document using a template.

When I sent the document to another person the formatting was
overridden
by
a template that they had with the same name as the template I had
used.

How do I stop a document from picking up templates on others PCs and
use
my
one?
