Hi there
I'm using Word 2007 and have templates with a few building blocks that are
template specific - eg. custom Cover Page, Headers & Footers, etc. and I
have a couple of issues I don't seem to be able to find the answer to.
If I create a document based on my custom template and then email the
document, the link to the 'based on' template is broken and the custom
building blocks are no longer accessible (why 'o why can't building blocks
be template specific like styles??).
In all my searching (online and books), I can't find any useful information
about how documents based on templates interact with each other to be able
to work with this. I mostly find information about how great 'Building
Blocks.dotx' is and store your custom building blocks here! Which is fine.
For just Me. But I have a number of users I need to roll this out to. Would
someone be able to point me in the right direction so I can learn about
template/document links, how they interact and what breaks them? And the
best way to deploy custom building blocks to a number of users (without
using the 'Building Blocks.dotx')? In an ideal world, my building blocks
would be template specific so I don't end up with users being faced with a
multitude of choices, but I fear this is not possible.
Any hints/pointers?
Many thanks in advance,
