I need to distribute a Word tutorial and a test. The test requires a
template I have created. I thought I could use an autoexec macro to save it
to c:\documents and settings\%username%\application
data\microsoft\templates\testtemplate.dot but it seems that %username%
creates an error.

Is there any way I can achieve my aim programatically please?

Many thanks

G'day "Wicked Wizard" <dontmailme@anywhere.com>,

The VBA Developers Handbook by Ken Getz et al contains some useful
information on using system paths.

Being tied to my chair after an operation on my foot, I can't get to the
local bookstore, but I'll order it from Amazon and ask them to send you a
commission!

Excuse my sense of humour please, I actually do have it and failed to find
what I was looking for, but I'll get it out again.

Just getting a reply makes me feel that bit more perky.

Options.DefaultFilePath(wdUserTemplatesPath) returns the folder which Word
currently thinks is the user templates folder

Oh brilliant, thank you! I was just bruising my leg resting my copy of Getz
on it. I am grateful.
