normal.dot file on terminal server 2003

M

Mark

I have tried setting a normal.dot file in the

C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates

But it did nto work.

The problem is that the old normal.dot file is in a folder with the
companies other templates.

They have add macros to the normal.dot which refer the these templates so
when you go into word with the normal.dot file in each users settings you can
not access the templets to which the macros refer to.

It would be to complicated to copy all of the templats to each user because
they are updated on a regular bases.

Do you have any other suggestions?

Regards

Hopefully, someone else who is more knowledgable than I about
Terminal Server will chime in here with something more definitive.

I'm not sure if this will work in a TS environment, but this is
what I would try:
1. Log in to Windows as a user.
2. Start Word.
3. Click on Tools | Options | File Locations, change the
"Templates" folder to "C:\Documents and
Settings\<username>\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates", and
change the "Workgroup Templates" folder to the network folder
containing your other shared templates. This should allow you to
keep the shared templates in one place on the network, while
giving the user his/her own Normal.dot.
4. Close Word.
5. Start Word again.
6. Click on Tools | Templates and Addins | Organizer, and
copy the macros from the network Normal.dot to <username>
Normal.dot. If the macros assume that the Normal.dot file is in
the same folder as the shared templates, then you will need to
modify the macros to point to the Workgroup Templates folder for
the shared templates.
7. If everything works okay for the current user, then for
the other users, you just need to repeat steps 1 thru 4, and copy
the Normal.dot from the current user's profile to the other
users' profiles.
