Document based on template doesn''t have correct page setup

[PC]

We have a macro that creates a new document based on a template, using the
following code:

Set doc = Documents.Add(Template:="k:\templates\Preprintedletterhead.dot")

The template is set up so that the first page is selected from tray 3
(loaded with letterhead), and subsequent pages are selected from tray 2
(plain paper).

New documents created by "Authenticated Users" using this macro do not have
the correct page setup - they are set as "automatically select".

Authenticated users have the following permissions on the templates folder:
Read & Execute, List Folder Contents, Read, Write. (Permissions are set so
that users cannot over-write the templates.)

New documents created by the macro, by users with full permissions on the
folder, DO have the proper page setup.

I have added the following code to try to set the page after the document is
created but this does not have any effect:

With doc.PageSetup
.FirstPageTray = wdPrinterLargeCapacityBin
.OtherPagesTray = wdPrinterLowerBin
End With


Does anyone know how to work around this problem, which appears to be
related to permissions on the folder?

PC,
Does everyone involved have the same permissions to change printer settings
over the network?

Russ:
Yes, they can change the settings for the newly-created document, but we
would like to have the settings of the template applied automatically to save
time.

Could they copy the template locally into their own folder and use it?
