Can I have a shortcut key to open a template?

[Guest]

Is there a way of making a shortcut key to open templates after opening a new
document with ctrl N (ie recently used templates??

Do you want to open the template to edit it, or do you want to create a new
document from it?

If the former create a macro containing the line

Documents.Open FileName:="C:\Path\filename.dot"

where "C:\Path\filename.dot" is the full path to your template.


If the latter create a macro containing the line

Documents.Add Template:="Normal"

where "Normal" is the name of your template

In either case assign a keyboard shortcut to the macro

Note also that you can create a desktop shortcut to a template;
double-clicking on that shortcut will create a new document based on the
template.
