Chart templates on network share
I am testing out Office 2007 for our company and have run into issues
with Powerpoint. We have a network share with custom .pot template files, but I cannot get them to appear in Powerpoint 2007. With Powerpoint 2003, the templates wouldn't show up until our custom GRUSRGAL.GRA file was in the "C:\documents and settings\username \application data\microsoft\graph" folder, but that doesn't work in Powerpoint 2007. I have set the "\\server_name\share_name" path in the workgroup templates folder location in Word, as well as added it to the trusted locations list in both word and powerpoint. Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong, or how to get this working would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Chris |

Chart templates on network share
Did you just add the server path in the PPT trusted locations, or did you
modify the default locations? Where are you expecting them to show up in 2007? Here's how it works in 2007: http://www.echosvoice.com/2007/whatgoeswhere.htm Are you trying to get the templates to show up on the Design tab, or in File | New | My Templates? Depending on which, you might have to modify different paths in trusted locations. -- Echo [MS PPT MVP] http://www.echosvoice.com What's new in PPT 2007? http://www.echosvoice.com/2007.htm Fixing PowerPoint Annoyances http://tinyurl.com/36grcd PowerPoint 2007 Complete Makeover Kit http://tinyurl.com/32a7nx wrote in message ...

Chart templates on network share
Thanks for the reply. I modified the "workgroup templates" location,
and added new for all of the "trusted locations." The templates do show up in the File New My Templates dialog, but, if possible, I would hear less user complaints if I were able to add them to the Design tab on the ribbon as well.

Chart templates on network share
Ah. You might have to push those to the individual users' machines, then.
They'd need to go he C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templa tes\Document Themes Hopefully someone else will have better ideas, though. I'm not very proficient with these "shared template" things. I guess you could try adding that path in the "user location" section in Trusted Locations and see if it makes a difference. -- Echo [MS PPT MVP] http://www.echosvoice.com What's new in PPT 2007? http://www.echosvoice.com/2007.htm Fixing PowerPoint Annoyances http://tinyurl.com/36grcd PowerPoint 2007 Complete Makeover Kit http://tinyurl.com/32a7nx wrote in message ...

I actually did try to add that path in the user location, but no
luck. I found an ADM for Office 2007 and installed it locally to see if there was anything in Group Policy that would have this effect, but haven't found anything so far. As a workaround, I think I will try to see if there is a way (via registry or GP) to have Office look at the network path instead of "C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft \Templates\Document Themes" for its custom design templates. Thanks for your help Echo, you definitely pushed me down the right path. On Jul 18, 3:16*pm, "Echo S" wrote: Ah. You might have to push those to the individual users' machines, then.

You're welcome. Wish I had a difinitive answer for you!
If you guys are running WinXP, that path would be C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates\Document Themes The path I mentioned below is for Vista. -- Echo [MS PPT MVP] http://www.echosvoice.com What's new in PPT 2007? http://www.echosvoice.com/2007.htm Fixing PowerPoint Annoyances http://tinyurl.com/36grcd PowerPoint 2007 Complete Makeover Kit http://tinyurl.com/32a7nx wrote in message ...
