Retired Template Server - Documents open very slow now

[Guest]

We retired an older file server, which held all our Word templates. Opening a
Word file linked to a template on that retired server now takes about 5
minutes. Word must be looking all over the place for the missing templates.

Any tips how to fix this problem?

Thanks,
