Our organization is moving from NT/Office 97 to Win 2000/Office 2000. We have several Word 97 Templates with embedded macros. The problem that we are having is that the macros do not work in documents started under the NT/97 systems when they are opened on the Win 2000/Office 2000 systems. This is because the attached template path is no longer correct because the server name and share where the documents are stored has changed. TechNet article Q220502 indicates that Word will look for the attached template in:
1 – The specified location
2 – The User Templates location
3 – The Workgroup templates loaction
4 – The installed templates location
We have tried putting the template in the User Templates Location and in the Workgroup Templates location but Word still does not find it. Both the Template and the document are Protected. Can Word not change the attached template in a Protected document or does anyone have any ideas as to why Word is not finding the template?
