Thanks for all the ideas. I'll try tomorrow....the reason I have to
do this is our company split off from another and we inherited a
server. We have about 4,000 word documents that were created using a
template.
The template was stored on a different server (ServerB), so all these
documents take much longer to open than they should, because the
document is looking for this non existent (at least on our serverA)
template.

if you search MS there's a script you can run against the documents to fix
the error.
