Don't know if this goes here or in another Microsoft Category:
We have about 30 computers in our company and have created numerous
templates for various uses. The templates have been placed in a central
location on one of the servers in a directory called FORMS. There are also
four sub-directories that contain various forms (for navigation purposes).
Two Current Problems:
1. Many of the non-computer type users have to right click on the specific
template or document and Save-As in order to save the template to a document
file. This is because the document opens up in Internet Explorer.
2. The current folder, when navigated to via our Intranet (not internet) is
very raw looking.
What I would like to do is have each user of MS Word be able to access these
templates directly from their local template directory (ie. File, New, From
Computer). Is there a way to create a script that would populate a user’s
template directory with the forms?
The script would have to check for a directory named “Company†and then
populate it with the templates from a specific directory where I keep all of
the templates. If the directory was not found, it would create it then
populate it. I want the user to have a tab in the templates directory named
“Company†where all of our custom templates can be pulled from.
OR is there a way to create the director called “Company†and have it point
to a specific directory where I only control and house the templates. Having
it point to a specific directory would be easier in theory because the
template could be changed on the “fly†but I don’t know if that is possible.
Also, how many "Tabs" can actually be created in the Word Template
Directory? Can sub Tabs
