Dear Word gurus,
We are using Word 2003, and I have been helping one of our staff create a
custom menu with shortcuts to templates they need to open frequently (using
macros to open the said template copy). The menu and macros are stored in
normal.dot template on a personal network drive (F.
However, we have noticed some bizaare behaviour - when my staff member goes
to continue adding more template links on the custom menu (using Tools,
Customise) on another day, the menu appears in the command menu but none of
the templates appear listed underneath. However, she may go in another time
(eg next day), and they will be back again.
This sounds suspiciously like something quirky with "normal.dot". They are
an external office who uses radio links. If the network drive dropped out,
would this explain something like this happening? I've worked with
templates, etc. for some time now and never seen such unusual behaviour. Any
ideas?
Would we be better off doing it a different way (ie. using a global template
or something)? Any advice appreciated.
Cheers
