Custom templates in Word 2007
In our office we have custom templates, which everybody accesses via our
internal network. I am used to the irritating problem that to change (edit) one of these templates, nobody in the office can have a document open that is based on the particular template I am trying to change (edit). Starting in 2007, however, when a document is created using a template, and a user opens this (new) document, a "File In Use" dialogue box pops up saying that the template (that the document is based on) is locked for editing by "another user". It goes on to ask if you want to open a read only copy, create a local copy and merge changes later, or receive notification when the original copy is available, with an "OK" and a "CANCEL" button. Clicking either button will open up the document. Now, this dialogue box usually pops up when somebody else has the document open. But now it pops up saying the *template* is open. I have tested and this happens with all the different templates we have. Anyone know what the heck is going on here, and how I can make it stop? If I can't, then we can't be using this version, which is coming standard on the new machines. Dan |
