Hi =?Utf-8?B?dmhlYWQ5OQ==?=,
How can I use a hyperlink to open an MS Word template (.dot) as a Word
document (.doc). Each time I try it opens the Template as a template
You cannot. Hyperlinks do only one thing: they open the specified file.
You could use a Macrobutton field (instead of a hyperlink) to provide a
"click-to-create-new-document" facility in your text. Create the macro
(see below) in the document, then use the Insert/Field command to create
the MacroButton field that calls the macro.
Sub CreateNewDoc
Documents.Add "C:\Pathinfo\filename.dot"
End Sub
