Using .doc as template leads to .dot save prompt
Hi,
I offer end-users multiple Word 2K templates as .doc files which all link to one .dot file. This is done so that I only need to manage one template, while having any number of virtual templates that dictate headings and structure. The end-user creates new documents from the .doc files. They do this either through a shortcut or through the FileNew... dialog. I am getting a strange phenomenon where creating a new doc out of a doc, means that I always get a prompt to save the template. The shortcut looks like this: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\WINWORD.EXE" /t"C:\some path\SomeDoc.doc" once I create a new doc this way, even if I close it, without saving it, and without making ANY modifications to it, I get prompted to save the template. I have one autonew macro, but even when disabled this happens, doing the same from the FileNew... dialog does not replicate this problem. Thanks all. |
