Old templates
Goog morning,
Many of our users do have very much documents they re-use. Those documents are based that don't excist anymore. (they where on a server). Now when they open a document, it take up to three minutes. Is there a possibility to repair those documents in a simple way? Whe have Windows XP and Office XP. Many thanks |

First, they should not be opening old documents and using them as the basis
for new documents. This is the purpose of templates. http://addbalance.com/usersguide/templates.htm Second, Word is looking for the old template on the network and this can take a long time. Once a document is opened, they should go to Tools Templates and Add-Ins and attach their current normal.dot template to the document (without the box being checked to update styles) and then save the document again. Next time the document is opened it will not have the problem. This initial opening can be speeded up by logging off the network while opening old documents. -- 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://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.
