File Location

[ES]

I have a number of Word templates stored on a shared folder. When users
create new documents from these templates, is there a way to change the "Save
To" location? i.e. I do not want them to be able to play around in the shared
folder.

It is also important to note that the new Save To location will differ
depending on the document type, content, etc.

See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/SaveInCertainFolder.htm for a
macro solution. You can specify a different save location for each
template, or (with more programming) modify the path according to the
content the users enter.

Documents created from templates using file > new are not saved in the
template folder, but in the user document folder.
I suspect you are using documents as templates rather than templates as
templates. If that is the case, save them as templates and make the shared
folder the Workgroup folder for each of your users.
