I am operating Sharepoint 2007, and have set up a site that uses a content type and an associated MS Word template; the users therefore generate new documents from the 'New' button in the appropriate library. The resulting document is generated in
MS Word 2007 but uses compatability mode because the users eventually have to issue the document to an organisation that still operates Office 2003 (I know, I know). The problem we are having is that when the end users (the 2003 operators) open the document
that has been emailed to them, their system appears to look for the original template on our network. Clicking 'Cancel' a number of times makes the dialog box go away and the document operates normally, but it is annoying and time consuming.
We have tried a number of variations to make this work better, but nothing fruitful so far. Any pearls of wisdom out there?
