I want to use Shared Template to organize the company template on a network
drive. When users work within the network I want only the Shared Templates
to bee available in the dialog under "new office document". The question is
therefore how to avoid user template to appear in the same dialogbox, when
creating a new document.

Hi TIRislaa,

Force the user template path to a location that does not have any templates,
by means of a log-on script.

Good luck,
Cooz
 
This is going to create a normal.dot at that point.

There are workgroup templates intended for this. You should not attempt to
control normal.dot, but rather to draw people to your templates. Have
templates that do what people want to do, and they'll use them.

You can set up menus or other methods that make it even easier to access
your templates if you want. http://addbalance.com/word/templatesmenu.htm

Hi TIRislaa:

You will only get rid of "some" of them that way.

Read Microsoft's Office Resource Kit, which will explain exactly how to do
this. The short answer is that the Non-File Templates must be
"uninstalled".

Some of the default templates are not files, they are components of
Microsoft Office. You have to uninstall them or they won't go away.

Cheers
