Post by mozeskriebels »

Does anybody know how to change the template path found under tools-> template and add-ons.

Here is an UNC path that won't change :S

The build in properties can find the template name but not the template path.

When I open the document with word the path still remains incorrect :S

Is there any progress for this problem?

We are going to change the netwerk structure here in 3-4 weeks and allmost every UNC path will change. A tool for changing the UNC paths in documents is very much needed.

WordPipe already handles changes to UNC paths in hyperlinks and in field codes. The question relates to changing the template path, which is a different problem area.

I don't understand. The template path is: "\\EZHFS11\DATA\MM\PJGKORPU\Word documenten\sjabloon\Standaard werkvoorschrift.dot"

that is an UNC path. But it cannot be found. Why is this a different problem area??

Because it is not part of the document, it is one of the document properties. You cannot perform a search/replace for this in Word.

Also, you may have to double the slashes in your search term in order to find it ie each \ becomes \\

Note - searching in the document properties was subsequently added as a feature, and the Document Template can now be searched separately.
