create new doc from template
This is only a very small niggle but I use Word mostly from my own templates
and when I fire-up Word, it starts off with a new, blank doc. When I open a new doc from my templates, it opens as a second page and I do the business. When I have finished, I save/close the doc I have been working on and I am left with the original blank doc which I then have to close before I can exit. Is there a simple way to set a property so that it only opens the template doc or zaps the blank doc when a new template doc is opened. -- (\__/) (='.'=) (")_(") |

create new doc from template
If you place a shortcut to the template onto your desktop, double-clicking
the shortcut should open Word to a new document created from the template without any blank. Is that what you are doing? If not, how are you creating a document from your template? -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "PhredBear" wrote in message ...

Create Shortcuts on desktop to the default Office Templates installed on
your PC: 1. C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Templates\1033 2. C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Templates\1033\Fax The default location for templates that you create and save to MS Word. You may need to enable, "Show Hidden Folders" under Folder Options in My Computer or "C:\" Drive.: 3. C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates Also you can do a file search for "*.dot" (w/o quotes) files on your hard drive and put a short cut on your Desktop. -- Add MS to your News Reader: news://msnews.microsoft.com Rich/rerat (RRR News) message rule Previous Text Snipped to Save Bandwidth When Appropriate "PhredBear" wrote in message on...
