word and dot files 1

[Fursten]

Hi,

I have a dot file. I want to programatically open a doc file, and change it, based on that dot file (but I dont´want to change the dot file). How can I do that?

Thank you.

Set up your template and save as a template .dot file.

You can open it in a macro with something like :-
'--------------------------------------------------
Sub MyMacro()
Documents.Add Template:="h:\templates\MyTemplate.dot", _
NewTemplate:=False
End Sub
'--------------------------------------------------
when it will appear as a normal document (named something like 'Document1'). You can change this document without changing the .dot file.

If you want to change the .dot file, you open it via File/Open (check the name top of screen).
