All At work we're deploying Office 2007 via SMS after removing Office 2003. We currently have a .dot in the Startup folder which creates a button on the toolbar which is used to access a number of other templates. When the the button is used a small dialogue pops up which displays the templates in the Templates folder. It has worked like this Office 2000 but under 2007 they don't work. Under Word 2007 when the button is used the dialogue box pops up and one of the templates can be selected but when the Ok button is clicked Word 2007 informs us that the template is corrupt and to use the Repairer to repair it. This is for all of the templates and the Repairer doesn't help and the security in the Trust Centre is set to low. But, if the templates are run manually from any location on the PC they each run perfectly so I need to find a way to get Word to accept that the templates aren't corrupt. I could use SMS to deploy the templates to user's desktops but we don't want to do that as it's messy. Any ideas what I can do to fix it so our users can access the templates via the button on the toolbar? Do I need to compile them or something in Word 2007? Maybe open them and do a Save As? thanks for any input
If you want to send me the add-in and a couple of the templates, I will try and reproduce the problem to see if I can determine what is causing it. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.
