Hi Jack, I think you have some serious misconceptions about how Word uses templates vs. documents. Please read http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...platePart1.htm. One key point is that you should *not* modify a template and then save it as a document. You use File New to create a new document *based on* the template -- the template itself remains unchanged. Another point is that automatically making a document based on the same template every time Word opens is a bad idea. Word is a general-purpose word processor, and you need the ability to make documents based on various templates. If there's one template you use very often, you can make a special desktop shortcut icon by right-clicking the template in Explorer, dragging it to the desktop, and selecting "Create shortcut" from the popup menu. That icon will start Word with a new document based on the template, while the regular Word shortcut will still launch Word with a blank document. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |

As Jay has said, you seem to have some real misconceptions about the
function of templates. The way templates are supposed to be used is to create a new document (which then needs to be named). For more on the different kinds of templates, tabs on the file new dialog, and locations of templates folders see http://addbalance.com/usersguide/templates.htm. To use a custom template to open Word, put a shortcut to the template on your desktop or in the Start menu and use that shortcut. Doing this will create a new document, based on your custom template. There are a number of other ways to get new documents from templates. Most require vba but not all.
