Re: Word online Templates
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....16KViews0likes1CommentRe: Word online Templates
Sadly it's one I worked out myself in house - although I note another contributor suggested much the same thing.... The process I used was: Create New SharePoint Library - call it group templates or whatever Upload the required templates to library Give all users read only access to that library Send link to all users instructing them to sync that library to their PC's (which they do from SharePoint) Open file explorer on local machine and locate the newly synced folder Select that folder Click in address bar at top of explorer window to see the full file path Select all and copy path to clipboard Open Word Click on file/ options/ save Paste the path from clipboard to the field "default peronal templates location" Click OK and close Word Open Word Click on new then personal and all the templates should now be available Whenever templates are updated, new ones added or deleted everyone is seamlessly updated. My guess is that's its the same in Excel and Powerpoint16KViews1like3CommentsRe: Word online Templates
We are not huge fans of word on line - the editing is not always WYSIWYG... Our workaround has been to create a series of branded templates and save them to SharePoint. Users sync the relevant library and then point to that location as their default template location in Word. We have 20 standard documents that everyone uses and that we now only have to update once, centrally... It's an offline solution but it works well for us as our users have word locally....18KViews0likes0Comments
