Default Determining Which Template is Attached to a Document?

Hi All

We have recently moved where we stored a number of organisational templates
from one server to another. Users will generally access these templates by a
mapped drive which is setup via their login script and even though the
templates were moved to a different server the drive and path were kept the
same.

However, we have since had users experiencing a problem whereby when then
try and open some word docs it can hang for up to 5 minutes before the
document opens.

This happens when the document has a UNC path in Tools, Templates and
Add-Ins eg \\servername\winword\templates as opposed to the shared drive. We
suspect that some staff have had a shortcut on their desktop and have
accessed the templates from their rather than by the mapped drive. At this
stage we don't really have an idea of how many documents are affected - we
have a few helpdesk calls logged and mainly for older documents. However we
have a lot of areas and a lot of documents!

So...my question is - is there anyway we can run a 'scan' (via a VB script?)
across all our shares and get a print out of which documents will have the
UNC path set as opposed to the drive letter in Tools, Template and Add-Ins?

Many thanks
Mark Jones
