startup folder problem

Hi!
I have a problem with my global template. I have made several templates and
since the most of the functions I have made are the same for the templates I
have put my code in two global templates. I have organized my templates in
some folders and in Word I set the path to the templates and to the startup
folder. It works fine most of the time, but... If I do not have Word open,
right click on a document in explorer and choose print then I get the message
"could not open global.dot". However if I copy the global templates to
C:\Program files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\STARTUP it works. Why? I meen I
did change the path for the startupfolder in word but it does not seem to
matter. Is it something special with this "default" startup folder?

Thanks for the links. I have read it put I have not come to any solution to
my problem. But now I think that the problem maybe can be WorkSite, I think
that it can be so because it works fine to right click and choose print on
computers that do not have worksite.
