Template troubles
Greetings!
I have a custom default company template that points to various letterheads pertaining to the staff. I had some staff changes and modified the default template to reflect those staff changes. However, when in Word none of the new name revisions show up. It's almost like Word doesn't see the changes in the custom default template or Word is not loading the template. I'm totally stumped here on what I'm doing wrong. Anyone know if/what steps I might be overlooking? |

Template troubles
Could you explain what you mean by "template that points to various
letterheads"? -- Are these letterheads separate documents, and if so, what does the 'points to' entail? However, the short answer is, if the changes are not showing up, then the template you changed is not the template that you are using. Check scrupulously the locations in which your templates are stored (local folder? workgroup folder?). "tednov" wrote in message ... Greetings!

Check scrupulously the locations in which your templates are stored (local folder? workgroup folder?). We have a custom toolbar/templates that points to all of our letterheads which are separate documents. All the custom templates reside locally under C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\STARTUP. However, I'm starting to think that this particular template might be making a call to AD as the full name of the staff members shows up in toolbar/template but only the login name shows up in the VB macro/template.

STARTUP is the wrong place to store templates. That folder is for add-ins,
which are loaded for code, not content. Go to Tools Options and look at the file locations. "tednov" wrote in message ...
