MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / September 2004Make a Word template available to All Users
Where should I put a Word template to make it available to all users on a computer? I see a Startup folder only in C:\Documents and Settings\<current user>\Application Data\Microsoft\Word. TIA Hi On the Tools menu, click Templates and Add-Ins. Click the Templates tab. Click on Add..browse to the folder containing the template and select the template and click ok This now becomes a global template which loads whenever word starts Regds, Thanks Ashish, but what if I want to do this myself (e.g. as a part of an installation program) and not leave it to the user; where should a global template go on disk?
