How to make hyperlink create doc from template

[vc7vc]

When I create a hyperlink to a template, the hyperlink opens the template.
Is there a switch or something else I can do to make the hyperlink create a
document from the template?

TIA,
Vivian

You could use a macrobutton field that runs a macro that contains the code
to create a new document from the template and that displays the template
path\name formatted so that it has the appearance of a hyperlink

See the article "Using MacroButton fields†at:

http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/UsingMacroButton.htm

The code for the macro would be

Dim Newdoc as Document
Set Newdoc = Documents.Add("TemplateName.dot")
