Word online Templates
Hi All, My internal communications team would like to add our own branded templates to Office365 so that when you click on the word online tile you are presented with our corporate templates. ...
You can get around this by uploading template documents (not dotx or dotm, but docx*) to an accessible 'brand' library and then asking users to open and then 'save as' from there. Making the library read-only will limit the potential for accidential change to the document.
*If you use 'dotx' or 'docm' the 'Edit in Browser' option is not available (at least in our tenant).
Thanks Simon. Just one extra question: did you do it this way in Sharepoint or Sharepoint online?
We have an enterprise 365 subscription and until your question prompted a quick google search I did not know there were two offerings - bless MS for keeping it simple. However, my understanding is that the necessary file sharing/ sync capabilities are central to the structure of both so as long as your users all have access the outlined methodology should work. I'd set up one template in a library and get a user to see if they can connect as described....
- OK. Thx again!
I will test it out as described.
