newfile dialog box

[bilisa]

Hi

Is it possible to remove the Word built in templates from the newfile dialog
box? Or maybe make your own new file dialog box and attach a directory to it?
Im using Word 2003. Any help is appreciated..

yours sincerly

Hi
Why would you want to remove the built in dialog box in the first palce.

Its possible to create a dialbog box using user forms. BUt it might not be
as simple as you would do in VB

Its because I want to force my users to use my userdefined templates. Anyway
I found a solution her http://addbalance.com/usersguide/templates.htm#sharing
Hope this can be helpful for others.

Doing this in vba is the hard way. You can remove them from the dialog box
by uninstalling them. Custom install. For more on the different kinds of
templates, tabs on the file new dialog, and locations of templates folders
see http://addbalance.com/usersguide/templates.htm.

Hi Charles,

Using VB Script is it easy to make a dialog box like the default Save as,
Save dialouge boxes?
