Default Word Template Folder.

[Guest Andrew Staley]

I have Server2003 R2 setup as a Terminal Server with Word 2003 SP3

installed.

 

I want the Word user templates option to point to another server where all

the user specific templates will be stored. I.E.

\\aserver\Word\Templates\%username%

 

Is it possible to do this from a default profile?

 

Thanks in advance, AStaley.

I'm fairly sure you can't do this via group policy, nor via a default

profile (everyone would be pointing at the same folder). The MS Office gurus

may have more answers,but I'd leave it in the default Application Data

folder (you should be redirecting *that*).. You can set up a workgroup

templates folder for your company's shared templates elsewhere (granting

Reviewer access only).

Okay, I've set my GPU to re-direct the Application Folder.

 

Thanks for the advice.

Sure. Redirect Application Data, My Documents,and Desktop - Start Menu too,

if you like. I put themall in \\server\sharename$\ and it creats subfolders

of %username%\<folder> for each.
