Re: word 2000 template
The only way to change these documents is to open them. This can be done
with a macro that you start running when you go home for the night. The
macro will work much better if the computer holding the documents is not
connected to the network when it runs. (Opening them manually and changing
them one at a time will also be faster if done when logged off the network.)
Before doing this read up on templates vs .documents. I suspect you are
using documents when you should be using templates. If so, this is a real
part of your problem, because your problem does not happen with templates,
only with documents. For more on the different kinds of templates, tabs on
the file new dialog, and locations of templates folders see
http://addbalance.com/usersguide/templates.htm. Unfortunately, this will
only help with what you do in the future, not with your current problem.
If you don't want to change these by opening each one manually, you will
need someone who is willing to work to learn a little programming (someone
who already knows some would be even better). The following links should
help.
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/VBABasicsIn15Mins.htm
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/CreateAMacro.htm
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/UsingRecorder.htm
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/ModifyRecordedMacro.htm
I would record a macro that changes one of these documents' attached
template to normal.dot. I would examine that macro in the visual basic
editor (Alt-F11) and integrate part of the recorded macro into the find and
replace macro (referred to earlier) to fix all documents in a folder.
Off-hand, I would say your time spent learning vba will be well rewarded in
saved time on this single project.

Re: word 2000 template
One other caveat, normal.dot should _not_ be a shared network file.
