Template use
I have a template on a network share and use a macro to go find the template
and create a new document. How many users can access this template at one time? Thanks -- tkz |

Template use
Many users can be using the template at the same time so long as they are
not opening the template but simply using it to create a new document. They won't be able to save styles or AutoText back to it when it is in use, but I doubt you want them to be able to do this anyway. Consider putting the template in the folder designated as the workgroup templates folder rather than using a macro. For more on the different kinds of templates, tabs on the file new dialog, and locations of templates folders see http://addbalance.com/usersguide/templates.htm. If you need a macro, look at http://addbalance.com/word/templatesmenu.htm for some ideas on how to implement it. Note, if someone has a document based on your template open, you will not be able to edit the template. If this will be a problem for you, you might well want to distribute your workgroup templates to each computer (using the user login scripts). This would have the added advantage of making your workgroup templates available to disconnected laptops. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.
