Word 2003 Globle Template won't load in Startup

[wvcs]

I've recently moved a template that creates a specific set of menus from Word
2000 to Word 2003. I know that the startup location for global templates have
changed with Word 2002/3. However, if I place the template with an Autoexec
in the OFFICE11\Startup Directory or the username\Application
Data\Word\Startup, the macro fails to be included for the add-in. I can
attach it through the tools --> templates-add-ins, but that only works for
the duration that word is open. If another user opens word, the macro is not
available. I've tested the autoexec through the VB editor and it works as
predicted. What am I missing? Why does the template not work in either
startup location?

Thanks Bill

Hi Bill,

Were you able to find out a solution for your issue? I'm running into something that may be similar. A macro loads up fine for most of our PCs when located at C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\STARTUP (preferable), but for others we have to place the template at C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\My Documents\Downloads. Can't figure out why.

Thanks.
