To: Jean-Guy Marcil,
Thanks for your quick response. I greatly appreciate it.
Although, after I moved my template from C:\...\Microsoft\Templates
into C:\...\Microsoft\Word\Startup, I also had to change my code from:
sUsertemplates = Options.DefaultFilePath(wdUserTemplatesPath)
to:
sUsertemplates = Options.DefaultFilePath(wdStartupPath)
The only downside from making it a global template is that it no longer
appears when one does a File->New from Word. I guess I can keep two copies of
it, one in C:\...\Microsoft\Templates and the other in
C:\...\Microsoft\Word\Startup.
Anyway, thanks for the help.

Normally, a global template is not used to create documents from, it is a
container for macros, toolbars, autotext entries, etc.
Maybe you should keep formating and macros separate. The template with the
formating/content should be u in the user template folder, the other - the
one with the macros and no formating/content - should be in the startup
folder.
This will give you more flexibility should you need to create different
layouts later. You can have as many template in the user folder but only one
with the macros.
In my opinion, this makes maintaining the whole thing easier.
Cheers.
