You still haven't explained why you need to have .dot files available on the intranet. If the idea is that the users should simply open the files from the intranet for editing, then .doc files would be more appropriate.
The idea was that you would not have to save it first as .dot and then resave it as .doc. It works fine with Word 2007 (open and save as .doc), but not in Word 2003 (open abd save as .dot as default).

But you have a point. Why do we have to use .dot in this context? Now i just need to figure out how to change the default save location in Word/Excel 2003.
