Templates Word 2000
HI,
i have created a load of new templates and put them in the work gorup templates, so that when employees go file/new in word it takes them to the templates, which is good, but the employeees are use to accessing files with file/open and they know the path to the templates, and going this route allows them to edit the templates, is there a way that i can prevent them from doing this?, apart from the obvious teling them not too!! help please |

Templates Word 2000
I would try the obvious first. If they are good templates, there should be
no reason for people to modify them. If they are mediocre, then you have to expect people to modify them. You can access the Document Properties from the File menu and see who is modifying them and take appropriate disciplinary action. You may be able to set up network permissions so that they have "read-only" access to the template folder. It you can't do that, add a password to the templates that has to be supplied in order to modify them. -- Please post any further questions or followup to the newsgroups for the benefit of others who may be interested. Unsolicited questions forwarded directly to me will only be answered on a paid consulting basis. Hope this helps Doug Robbins - Word MVP "LIsa" wrote in message ...
