Restrict save folder
Hello,
We have all word templates saved in one centralized folder: ex Q:\company forms\maintenance.docx The permissions within the document let people fill stuff out and the folder is protected so know can save over the top of the original document. I am tired of everyone saving their documents wherever they please, can't find them, so I want a default place put in like: ex G:\maintenance requests\?????.docx the name ????? is the name of request. I am not sure how to lock this out Thank you |

The fundamental problem you're having is that you're calling documents templates. Files ending with a docx extension are not templates - they're documents.
The simplest solution is to open the documents and save them as templates. When you do that, Word will give them a dotx extension (don't simply change it yourself). Once you've done that, double-clicking on the template will cause Word to create a new document from it, obviating the issues you're now having.
