atw: Re: Office 2007 workgroup template linking DOES NOT WORK...

Technically, you don't have to have your templates in Documents and Setting=
s folder as long as you are using a template designated in Tools > Options =
> File Locations > User Templates. Word gets confused if the template you a=
re using is not in this designated file location.

I would also recommend that you have unchecked "Automatically update docume=
nt styles" in the Tools > Templates and Add-ins window. If you need a new s=
tyle for a template, create it directly in the template.

Doing these three things makes Word much happier, and in the end, you.

Cheers

Seriously, has anyone suffered a similar fate? Fortunately the symptoms

Also interesting to note, the old Word window is partially displayed in XP.=

This indicates to me all the developers have done is put a skin over the

toolbar functions off. =
