I have been charged with making all of our company forms true “forms” using Word templates. The basic ones have been completed easily. I am having some issues with ones that need to calculate formulas. The one I will use here as an example is a purchase order request that will calculate quantity * cost to give total cost per item and then total all of the items for the entire request. The calcs work, but in order to get the fields to update, I want the Tools, Options, Print, update fields under printing options to be enabled for all users. This option is shown to be ‘on’ in the document template but when any user other than myself opens the template to create a new Doc1 the update fields is ‘off’.
Is there any way to keep this on for anyone who uses the template or does each user need to change that setting each time they use the template?
We are using Word 2000 and the template resides on a network folder on the server, not on the users C: drive. It is password protected so that no changes can be made to the design.
Any help automating this would be much appreciated!
