Link To New Document

[David]

When you create a new document from a template, as soon as the new document
opens, close the template in the background and do not create a link between
them. This way in Word 2007, you will not constantly be asked to also save
the changes to the new document to the template, and if you wish to save the
changes to the template by doing a Save As with the document type set to
template, you will not have to save it with a different name first, delete
the old template, and then rename the new one back to the old template name.
In other words, since the template was closed when the new document was
created, you would be able to now replace the old template directly.
