template - embedded

[Guest]

I want to transfer a word file across many computers - as I'm using unique
AutoTexts it will need its own Template - is there a way to embed a template
into a doc or is it feasable to distribute a .DOT with AutoNew function - I
seem to have confused myself with this question - hope it makes sense.

What's wrong with distributing it as a DOT? Default double-click action on a
DOT is NEW.

Anne,
You are right of course but, I'm dealing with several people of varying
window/word skills and you can bet your life someone will try opening it in
another way, however, I may not have any other option - possibly an
automallet would work - a small hammer extruding from the screen to wop the
the user's knuckles when they try something different!?

Well, you can certainly put a message box in the Document_Open event in the
template that says "You done opened this sucka wrong!!"
