Think about this. What happens when you send a document to someone else? Do you really expect them to have the same set of templates as you? Surely, the only practical way of ensuring anyone can open a document is to embed all of the template information in the document; in other words, the template is just that - a pattern used to start a document only. However, fonts are not embedded which can cause difficulties if the recipient does not have adequate coverage of the symbol set; nor is the language dictionary, but the language is indicated in the style information that is in the doc. Both of these are given by name when the doc is opened so the receiver could find and acquire what is needed independently of the sender. -- Andy Pepperdine On this mailing list help is provided by volunteers.
