There doesn't seem to be an ability to use an alternate template path in
addition to the one defined by the installation. I thought Office 2003
allowed this, but I can't really remember, and it's too late to check. (Too
late for me because it's after midnight, too late for you since you already
have Excel 2007.)

They seem to need to be saved to whereever you template path is set to in
'UserTemplates' in
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\C ommon\General]

In our case, we set this path to point to a server the users don't have
write access to.

Storing the chart templates in any other template path i.e.
'SharedTemplates' etc means that Excel can't pick them up again if you
want
teh apply it to a chart

Excel tries to save it to a 'charts' folder underneath the template path.
My
users don't have write access to the template path, is there anywhere
else we
can store it, so that Excel can still pick them up?
