I want to open a word document from another program, I can open but i want to
open the file with another template then normal.dot. I tried to start the
word with /t but word starts twice then. Once for the template and once for
the file.
How can I start the file with another template?
 
Word documents are attached to templates - when you open the document it
will be attached to a template with a name matching the one recorded for the
file (normally the same template it was attached to when it was created or
reattached manually, but there is an order of precedence for finding
templates which may change that).

If what you are looking for is a way to attach a different template on
opening the file, you'll need to do that in an AutoOpen macro or via the
document's Open event. Note that attaching a template won't of itself change
the document - though you can if you wish update the document styles to
match the template, or indeed copy them from another template if that's what
you want.

If you want to use a particular set of macros or other stuff from a
(non-attached) template when you open the document, you may be better off
using a Global add-in template.

Really all depends on what you need the template for.
