MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / August 2006How to change security settings on a “bulk level” via network
I have to deploy a template to over 30 computers with some of the computers having different users (Running Windows 2000). The problem is that each user has to change their security setting from High to Medium to run the template. Is there a way to simplify this (ie. modify one normal.dot file and deploy it to all the computers via the network so each user does not have to manually change their setting)? Or is this security setting housed somewhere else? >I have to deploy a template to over 30 computers with some of the computers > having different users (Running Windows 2000).

It is housed somewhere else, and deliberately set up so that you can't (at least not by any published method) change it programmatically. You should look into getting a digital certificate for your template so it will run under High security once users trust the certificate.

If the user copies the template to the same folder as Normal.dot, it should run without triggering the macro security. Unless "Trust all installed addins and templates" has been deactivated. In that case, only the approach with a digital certificate will work.

If it is the latter of the two, how does the 1033 directory know where each template is to be placed in the FILE, NEW tab form? Is there some sort of INI file that holds the control for this? > I have to deploy a template to over 30 computers with some of the computers > having different users (Running Windows 2000).

Yes. Create a subfolder in the User Templates or Workgroup Templates folder, and place your template there. A tab of the same name will automatically show up in the File New dialog.

Brendan was telling us: Brendan nous racontait que : > Could not get that to work with either directory. > > C:\Documents and Settings\[UserName]\Application Data\Microsoft\ > C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Templates\ > > Am I missing one? You have to use the folders that are listed under Tools > Options > File Locations tab > User Templates or Workgroup Templates. If the two paths you mentioned above are neither, then yes, you are missing something! ;-) SignatureSalut! _______________________________________ Jean-Guy Marcil - Word MVP jmarcilREMOVE@CAPSsympatico.caTHISTOO Word MVP site: http://www.word.mvps.org You have to use the folders designated in Word as the user templates folder or the workgroup templates folder. Those can be anything and the defaults have changed with versions of Word!

Brendan, As this link by Mr. Mayor suggests, you could go to a user's terminal and open Word; then use the menus "tools > options > file locations" to see where that application of Word is looking for files: Click on links. http://www.gmayor.com/Template_Locations.htm Or do a search in Google Groups: http://tinyurl.com/nno5o > Could not get that to work with either directory. > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] >> and place your template there.
