I have a Word macro that I need to publish to 80+ PC's, without overiding the Normal.dot file. Is there a way of doing this via Server 2003 that dosn't require me to go around to each machine? Currently using; Windows XP Pro(SP2) Server 2003 R2 (SP2) Word 2003 (SP3). Thanks, Andrew.

Didn't work well for me recently. I tried to get the users to copy my global template into the StartUp folder, and many of them didn't manage it (despite my instructions which were identical to that of the article). Guess next time I'll write a script or executable that gets the location of the StartUp folder from the registry and copies the dot there.
