MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / December 2004Launch a Word Template From the Web
Does anyone know how to code a web page so that I can launch a Word template? Currently if I just put the executable with the template name it opens Word and the actual template. I need the action to be like the File, New and have a new document based on the template, not open the template itself. Any help would be appreciated. John Jost - St. Louis There are a number of ways to get new documents from templates. Most require vba but not all. You may want to take a look at http://www.addbalance.com/word/templatesmenu.htm. In particular, look at the methods of generating new documents from Hyperlinks.

That switch means to start with a new document based on the named template. See http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=210565.
