Templates - preventing them from changing when on someone else's .

Made a template for my office. Placed it on the server and when half the
office open it the template appears fabulous but when teh other half of the
office opens it the text in the header appears wrong.

The file is all the same margins, sizes everything same. Most are on
Microsoft XP but I tested it on Microsoft 2003 and it worked. I don't
understand it is the same file.

I am baffled. Please help me.

Does it use fonts that some users do not have installed?

In the Microsoft Word newsgroups it is considered bad form to post separate
messages to multiple newsgroups. If you need to post in more than one forum
(unusual) please post a single message with both forums in the header of
that single message. That way (1) your question and the various answers stay
together, (2) less space is used on the news servers, (3) less bandwidth is
used on the Internet, (4) you only have to check one forum for answers that
appear in both forums, and (5) you won't unnecessarily annoy the people you
are asking for help. This isn't meant to criticize you. We were all
beginners once and the only way to learn is to try. (BTW, a number of the
Microsoft newsgroups don't want posting in more than one newsgroup, period.
Check the FAQ.)

Thankyou, You hit the nail on the head.

Half of us have this font and the other half don't. I just thought that if
you all had Win XP then everyone would have the same standard fonts.

Silly me - you have saved me a lot of trouble.
