Documents were moved to a new computer, but they still are referencing a template on the old computer which no longer exists, so OPEN waits until that link reference times out on the network. Changing template locations under options->file locations did not help; evidently that is just for new documents. Is there a utility to update the template links? At this point my only idea is to write a macro that for each document will read to get the name and copy contents to clipboard, close document, create new document and paste from clipboard, and then save with same name. I think the template these documents are based on was a workgroup template, if that matters. That template, as well as the documents, are on the same machine, but now with a different name.

I've created a form with some Rich Text field. When I protect the document with allow for "Filling in forms", Word does not allow me to fill in the form when I click on the Rich Text field. What's going on? It's so frustrating. - 4. Updating Word mailing labels from Excel data
Hello, helpful folks! I produce mailing labels in Word using Excel data (wish it was easier, but I manage, with your help). When I revise the Excel data, I hoped it would transfer to the existing labels when I access the Word file. No such luck. I have to recreate the lables to get them updated. There must be a better way; this should work automatically but it doesn't for me. Suggestions? Thanks! - 5. Change MARGINS for ONE page only?

If you can get your document to open, you can try using Attach To which is located in Tools | Templates and Addins | Templat tab. Just put the full path to the template in the Document Template line and choose the Attach button. The other option would be to create a blank document and then use Insert | File and insert the document you with which you are experiencing problems into the new blank document. I hope this helps!
