Timeout Value for Word?

Hi Folks,
Can anyone tell me if there is a timeout value for Word to do macro
related tasks?

The Story.......

I have a document automation system that allows users to create new
documents based on the document they have in front of them (for various
reasons). It collects data from the document (text, styles, custom
properties etc.) and includes them in the next document which is created
based on a remote a template (shared drive).

More often than not the original document is on a shared drive, the
Template used to create new documents is always on a shared drive, and
the newly created document is normally created on a shared drive.

Problem I'm having is that somewhere along the line (I think in the
template addition) the macro throws a wobbly and gives a run time error
(my error handling aint great but this isn't part of the problem)
relating to a remote macro.

Now I know this works as I only have the problem in one department and
it's intermittent at that! It works fine everywhere else.

The network connection in this dept is not the best so that leads me to
a timeout of some kind.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Cheers

J
