There are things called office policies. They can be set at installation.
I do expect you to set up each workstation so that it can access workgroup
templates. The best way is probably to have log-in scripts that update local
copies. See
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/DistributeMacros.htm.
This is what IT departments are for.
Sending templates out to be opened so that they can create documents is
compounding your problems, not solving them!
