Store and Retrieve Network Path for Word Add-in

[Microsmith]

Hello,

I developed an add-in I plan to sell. The add-in loads stored images from
the program files directory on the host computer. The program works fine
with a local install. However, I would like to be able to offer the program
for network installations. I can't figure out the best way for the installer
to provide the path so the add-in knows where to retrieve the files. My
first thought was to have a bookmarked place in the add-in file itself where
the network path could be stored but I can't figure out how to retrieve the
contents from that bookmark.

Any input is appreciated.
