Changing the Attached Word Template

Problems with Microsoft Word templates.

If you move the document to a different computer that doesn't have the template, the attachment will be broken. If you move the template into a different directory on your computer, the attachment will probably be broken. If your template is on your server and you give the server a different name, the attachment will be broken. You can change the template attached to a document using:

In Microsoft Word 2003

• Tools => Templates and Add-Ins...
• Click Attach, then browse to the correct location i.e. file://Servername/Templates and then select the appropriate template.
• Tick automatically update document styles
• Click Ok
• Save the document.

In Microsoft Word 2007

• Click the Microsoft Office Button , and then click Word Options.
• Click Add-Ins.
• In the Manage list, select Templates, and then click Go.
• Click the Templates tab.
• Click the Attach button then browse to the correct location i.e. file://servername/Templates and then select the appropriate template.
• Tick automatically update document styles
• Click Ok
• Save the document.
