Hi Gabe,

What do you mean by this?
Why are you opening the template file at all?


The idea of a template file is that word creates a NEW DOCUMENT
document from the template. ie . if you double-click on the temlpate
file from Windows explorer word will create a new document from that
fil.

If the template is in the right place on your PC (ie in either of the
locations --"User Templates" or "Workgroup Templates" pointed to in
"Tools|Options|File Locations" then it will appear when you select
File|New. That will also make a new document from the temlpate.

What is hard about that? If you use the template all the time you can
create a simple macro to do the File|New and put that on a toolbar.

Hope this helps.

Cheers!
