Normal.dot on Terminal Server.....

[Sandy Wood]

I've got Office XP installed on my Windows 2k Terminal
Server and I'm trying to get rid of the Microsoft Word
message that states

"Word cannot save changes to the global template because
it was opened with read-only access. Do you want to save
the changes in a template with a different name?"

We've got a normal.dot on a share for all our users to
get to through their Workgroup Templates settings and our
normal LAN users don't see this error, only newly logged
in Terminal Server users. We're just using local profiles
based on the Default User profiles.

Does anyone have a workaround to remove this message?

By giving everyone their own private Normal.dot in private space. Don't
share normal.dot.
