Toolbar links to Portals
Swore I was going to figure this out...but I've tried.
OK...I have created a word Normal.dot (currently working it as a Normal.doc) with custom toolbars with links to document on a shared drive. Now....when I am in a program that is on "portal J" and select "the type of OLE connection to the new document" - "embed" it opens my word template. Here is my problem. If I type something on the blank document and go to close it ask me "object changed. Do you want to send this to the Server?" This works..now.. when I open a document from my custom toolbar it opens...but..when I make changes it want to save the changes back to the "shared drive" (where doc is located) rather than to the "portal J" as embeded. I found in the Control Toolbox under "more controls" "Portal J OLE control"...but I don't know what to do with it, if this is even an option...Any suggestions? |

A few observations.
Only Word can create the normal template, which for Word versions before 2007 is normal.dot. You can edit the normal.dot that Word has created, but it is best to keep edits to the documen t area at a minimum. In particular do not insert header/footers. I have no idea what you mean by (currently working it as a Normal.doc) A Word template can never be a document. If Word wants to save the normal template on closing when you have not made changes that would be reflected in the template, then there are probably orphan lock files present, or you have some other fault condition - http://www.gmayor.com/what_to_do_when_word_crashes.htm then http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...artingWord.htm. If you make changes to a document, then Word will prompt you to save changes to the document. My guess is that your 'program' is opening the normal template rather than creating a new document from it. Check the Windows default action for double clicking a template (.dot) is NEW rather than OPEN. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org desperate in MS wrote: Swore I was going to figure this out...but I've tried.
