change/remove template from multiple documents
Hello,
I have many documents that use the same document template(s), and I frequently need to change the template used in those documents. Is there any way to change which template a bunch of documents use all at once, instead of going into each document and changing the template in the Templates and Add-ins dialog? Similarly, is there any way to detach the document template from a bunch of files at once? Thanks very much! Kate |

change/remove template from multiple documents
Hi Kate
There is no straight forward way to do this. The code at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/830561 might help. However, frequently changing the templates that are attached to documents is an odd thing to do. What's the reason behind it? Perhaps there's an easier solution to your underlying issue. Hope this helps. Shauna Kelly. Microsoft MVP. http://www.shaunakelly.com/word wrote in message oups.com...

Hi Shauna,
Thanks for the information. We have documents in a password protected location on our network connected to a template also in that location. Eventually, we make documents available to clients in an unrestricted directory. So we need to remove the template attachment or they'll be prompted to login to our restricted area. It's really mass removal of the template designation that's more common. Thanks again! Kate Shauna Kelly wrote: Hi Kate There is no straight forward way to do this.
