Hiding Normal

Hi All,

Is there any way of hiding Normal.Dot in the new document screen? I'd like
users to be able to create documents from other templates (letters faxes
etc), but not Normal.Dot

Many Thanks.

Pete.

<mumble mumble> sorta. I think what you are really asking is:

"Is there any way I can make my default document based on something
other than Normal.dot" and the answer is "Yes, if you want to use
VBA."

There are several relatively simple solutions to this problem (more
help available via the VBA groups and @
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/index.htm). My favourite is:

Create a global template with a small macro that does a Documents.Add
with your template name in it. This macro gets linked to a replacement
button for the New Blank File (copy and paste its face then delete it,
all with the context set to your global template). Also set ctrl+N to
this macro as well.

Said global contains an AutoExec that delays with an Ontime, then
deletes the activedocument and creates a new one based on your
template.
