Does anyone know how to create a hyperlink to open a new document based on a
template I have created. The hyperlink I created just opens the actual
template, which is not what I need.

Thankyou

The default action of hyperlinks is to open a document or other file. There
is no way (that I know of) to change the action to "New," which is what
would be required.

I've never tried this with a hyperlink in _Word_ itself, but with
hyperlinks from Internet or more often Intranet pages, what usually
works is to create a shortcut to the template and point the hyperlink to
that.
