I am not all that new a user. I have Word 2000 at home and 97 at work.
What I am trying to do is this.I would like a way to get to the template dialog or ideally open an instance of a specific template programmatically (ie from an html page on my local machine). any help would be appreciated. Carlton Noles Billing |

The easiest way to open a document based on a specific template is to put a
shortcut to the template on your desktop (since the default behavior for ..dot files is New, you get a new document instead of opening the template). Creating a document from a template with a Web page link is virtually impossible, I think. -- Suzanne S.

I cannot imagine that this could not be done with some script, however byzantine it may be. -- Amedee Van Gasse using XanaNews 1.17.1.2 If it has an "X" in the name, it must be Linux?

Actually a plain old hyperlink is all that was needed since (as you pointed out) the default behavior is "new" |
