AttachedTemplate

[Johan]

In Word VBA help is an example how to change the AttachedTemplate of a
document:
ActiveDocument.AttachedTemplate = "C:\Templates\Letter.dot"
But when I use this example with my template,
there is always error 5947: document template cannot be changed.
I want to change the template of a lot of Normal based documents,
so how can I do this without getting this error?

Hi Johan,

In Word VBA help is an example how to change the AttachedTemplate of a
document:
ActiveDocument.AttachedTemplate = "C:\Templates\Letter.dot"
But when I use this example with my template,
there is always error 5947: document template cannot be changed.
I want to change the template of a lot of Normal based documents,
so how can I do this without getting this error?

Anything special about these documents? Version of Word? Are you able to
change the template via Tools/Templates and Addins?

Any chance you are trying to run this on a template rather than a document?
The attached template of a template will always be the template itself.
