I have a basic template used to create a letterhead document. When I create
a new document I want to know that this template was used. If I look at the

ActiveDocument.BuiltInDocumentProperties("Template").Value

It says normal.dot rather than letterhead.dot

Is there some other way to find it out?

Try:

myTemplate = ActiveDocument.AttachedTemplate

If you want to know even if your document is later attached to a different
template, put an identifying document variable in your template. It will
carry into any document created based on your template.
