deploying global template from central location Word 2007

[ceallagh]

I followed the basic instructions here:

http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word/HA010872941033.aspx

That worked fine, except for that when someone has Word open, and someone
else then tries to open Word, they get a message that the template is locked
for editing and prompts them to cancel, or use a read only copy, etc. That
works, but confuses people. They see the error message and they think that
something is wrong. Is there any way to not have that happen yet still keep
the templates global?

What version of Word are you using? The error encountered suggests the
template is being modified in some way. What type of content is in your
template? Macros?
