Anne, Sorry for being a pain but I could not get this working. Here is a cut
and paste from my macro can you tell me where to insert the line
"ActiveDocument.Close"

Sub Letter()
'
' Letter Macro
' Macro recorded 11/9/2005 by Clay Wilson
'
Documents.Add Template:="F:\soft\officetemplates\letter.dot",
NewTemplate _
:=False, DocumentType:=0
End Sub

When you recorded the macro, it should have written some code into your
normal.dot and you would see it under normal.dot (try recording it again,
then looking for the code immediately; perhaps your normal.dot is not being
saved?) and in a folder called NewMacros. At this link, you'll see graphics
that show Module1. Your NewMacros would appear the same way, and some of
this information might help you:

Anne,
I tried that out but could not make heads or tails out of it. Do I just
open
Word and press Alt+F11 or do I need to open a certain doc or template
first
and then press that? I mean I got as far as douoble clicking Normal but
then
you say find the module that contains the code....what code? I didnt see
anything that said NewMacros either. If you have any more help for me I
would
appreciate it. Thanks.

Hit Alt+F11. On the left, double-click normal (or normal.dot), then find
the
module that contains the code (probably under NewMacros). Right below the
"Sub..." part, so it's the first line inside the code, put this line:

ActiveDocument.Close

Anne, That is great! I have tried it out and have made what I needed to
make.
I do have one other question thou. When I click the new button/macro I
made
it opens the template I wanted but it opens it in a new window. Can
this
be
changed so that it opens it in the current open word window? That would
make
it even better.

Record a macro. Store it in Normal.dot.

We are using Word 2003 and we would like to know if it's possible to
add a
button on a toolbar that automatically opens one of our corporate
templates?
Instead of browsing to find it throu all the ones we have.
