I have a global template (add-in), developed for Word 2010, that I've recently moved over to the Mac (Word 2011). The problem I'm having is that, on some systems, the add-in does not load at Startup. It is in the Startup/Word folder that the Mac uses, and
I've confirmed that its path matches the value of Application.Options.DefaultFilePath(wdStartupPath).
I've also added this folder as the Startup folder via Preferences/File Locations, since it is generally not preset. Despite all this, users still need to go to Add-Ins and Templates and click the check box next to the add-in name at the start of every Word
session.
I don't have a huge amount of advanced Mac experience. The one thing I've found is different
between my system (where the add-in loads on Startup) and the systems where it doesn't, is that my system requires my password for pretty much every file management operation (delete, move, copy, etc.). It's a hassle, but maybe it indicates some permissions
setting that the other users lack? I have no idea. Does that sound plausible? I haven't been able to find any documentation that a Startup add-in requires any particular permissions settings, so I'm wary of messing around with it too much.
Thanks in advance!
