Is it practical to use SharePoint as a central location for document
templates? In other words, to reference a Word document template location as
a SharePoint folder instead of the user's local hard drive.

Thanks,

Keith

You can naturally use WSS document libraries to store documents that happen
to be templates (after adding this .xxx to the accepted list I expect +
taking the risk that people might click on them inside WSS) but I would
suggest either testing the usage from within Word yourself or posting to the
Word newsgroup which should know more about possible locations of its
newsgroups.

I suspect the last word should have been "templates" rather than
"newsgroups".

So if you (Keith) were confused, so was I on re-reading this just now.

Apologies.
