SYMPTOMS
When you create a Web page with an attached template that is stored on a mapped network drive, and then save that Web page as a Word document, the path to the template may be lost.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur if all of the following conditions are true:
 * You create a Word document and attach a template to the document.

-and-
 * The template is stored on a mapped network drive by using a Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path. (For example: \\ \ .)

-and-
 * The document is saved as a Web page (and then closed).

-and-
 * The document is then saved as a Word document, or in any format that supports templates, such as Rich Text Format (RTF).



WORKAROUND
To work around this issue, reattach the template. To do this, follow these steps:
 * 1) On the Tools menu, click Templates and Add-Ins.
 * 2) Click Attach, and then browse to select the template that you want to attach.
 * 3) Click Open, and then click OK.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
