Word Templates -- File ¦ New "Preview"

[vbaprogammer]

I have some very complicated templates.<br><br>Our users complain when they use File ¦ New and select the template.<br><br>There is a long wait for the highlight to move to the selected template while Word tries to find its &quot;Preview&quot; example, which my templates don't have.&nbsp;&nbsp;Once Word discovers there is no &quot;Preview&quot; everything is fine.<br><br>Question:&nbsp;&nbsp;Is there a way to stop this from occurring (other than making a menu and macro to retrieve the template) by creating a &quot;Preview&quot; or preventing Word from looking for one?<br><br>Thanks.<br><br>Dan
