Hi,
I would like to be able to share Word documents (2007 and later) based on the same template between different users on the same computer or between users with different computers.
Normally in my computer the template is located in C:\Users\ My user name \AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates
I discovered a Word behavior that surprised me.
1) If I create a doc based on the same template (and same name) but located in a different folder, when I look in the Developer Tab>Document Template, I can see the different folder as expected, but after I close and reopen the file I see (unexpectedly) that the template associated is the one in the canonical folder.
2) If a different user on the same computer doesn't have the template in the same non canonical folder the macros are disabled and the template associated is the old one. But if the other user as the same template (and same name) in C:\Users\ Other user name \AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates, all the macros will work and the template associated is the one in the canonical folder with ...\ My user name \... changed to ...\ Other user name \...
That behavior is not necessarily bad, on the contrary it will save me a lot of work (Since I need to manipolate those file from Acces, I was thinking to write a procedure for checking and changing the attached Template, before to be able to work on them).
But how relayble is it? Does it depend on some Word options that could be set differently on other computers?
Thanks, Lauro
