Within our corporate intranet, I have a link on a web page to an existing
Word template in the file system.  Clicking on the hyperlink works fine but
opens the template itself rather than creating a new document based on the
template.  The form of the hyperlink is:

file:///L:/Workgroup Templates/Fax Coversheet

It is a simple html document with a list of all the templates available.
Staff can click on one of the hyperlinks and I want it to open a NEW
document based on the template, not open the template itself, just like when
they double-click on a template in Windows Explorer.

How do I tell it to use the new action on the template rather than the open
action??

Thanks.
