A programme to copy template

[Kushal]

I have saved a normal template. I want to design a small code in VB which can
install the saved normal template over normal template of other msword. I
want to copy the saved normal template on mswords of different computers.
Presently i am copying the saved normal template and overwriting it over
normal templates of other mswords of other computers. But it is a tedious
job. A lay man cannot do it accurately.

No. No. No.
What you are trying to do is the behavior of a virus. You should not be
overwriting normal.dot on other people's computers. You can accomplish what
you want (sharing/distributing macros and other customizations) without
doing this. See http://addbalance.com/word/movetotemplate.htm for
step-by-step instructions on moving / sharing / copying / backing-up
customizations including AutoText, AutoCorrect, keyboard assignments,
toolbars, macros, etc.

I have made a new template and copying it now in start up folder. But I want
to automate this process. As i donot want to start the word but copy the
template in startup folder. Is any script possible to make .exe of this
template and run it from CD so that it gets copied in right folder.
Thanks

There are commercial installer programs which could do this. There may be
free programs as well. Although I haven't tried it , I hear quite good
things of Inno Setup.
