Hello all, need some help with this one.

Is there a way to insert VBA code or a link in a Word
document that would open a document template (dot file) as
a new document when executed? This would need to work on
Word 97 machines and above.

All input is appreciated.

TIA
Cindy

Hi Cindy,

The code to create a new document from a template is

Documents.Add "Drive:\Path\TemplateName.Dot"

Please post any further questions or followup to the newsgroups for the
benefit of others who may be interested. Unsolicited questions forwarded
directly to me will only be answered on a paid consulting basis.

Hope this helps

Greetings,

I am fairly new to this concept, so I will give the scenario and the the
problem.

I have 3 word documents; letter1.doc, letter2.doc, letter3.doc
In each of these three documents I have a text form field called 'job
number'.
Can I write a VB program that will ask a user for a job number, and then
insert that number in each of the three documents, if so, how?

Thanks.
