All,

I'm developing a Microsoft Word template that will be
distributed to all 300 associates within my
organization. One issue that we're concerned with is
how to update the templates in the future. We need to
make updating the template as easy as possible so that
users will actually update it themselves and we can be
*assured* that they have made the updates. A
technology person within our organization suggested
sending out an install wizard to handle this but to
properly install, we would need to reference registry
settings because of how Word handles templates. This
sounds tricky and difficult.

Best practices on how to handle the distribution would
be greatly appreciated.
