In the interests of completeness, the order is:
1. Same directory as document
2. User templates directory
3. Workgroup templates directory
4. Path of attached template (if different from all above)
5. Give up and look for Normal
A note about number 4. This can cause problems (very slow opening) if it's a network path which is not available to the person opening the document.
A final note amid all the congratulation of Microsoft. I find it rather odd that it doesn't look at already open templates anywhere in its search chain. It is perfectly possible for the 'correct' template to be open and for Word to use Normal.
Enjoy,
Tony

You're absolutly right of course! I totaly forget about that possibility in my test!
That was quit stupid of me because I've written several subs (To batch rename to new location (Attached template)) exactly for that problem!! (Renaming the server is the most common one I know of)
And yes it can take a very long time for templates to open if they are attached somewhere on the network on a non default location...
I agree that's no good!Originally Posted by TonyJollans
Logics for me would still be that Word would search for the template that it's attached to first. (Nr 4 in the list)
Because our little test has proven that if you keep templates lying arround in your network you can easily screw up things if you work with different versions...(Because Word will keep this order)
I can see major problems with this and I'm glad we've taken the time to get to the bottom of this..(And perhaps there's even more that we haven't seen yet)
It was a pleasure as always!
