Open new Word file via Excel

[Lupe]

Hi
I've created a Word template with many mergefields and includetexts. The
data source is in Excel. I want the users to be able to open automatically
via a macrobutton a new Word file based on my template when they finish enter
their source data and merge the information.
I have already managed to open an existing file via a macrobutton. I got the
following code from a post of Sept 2006 by moon. How can I elaborate on this
code to get a new file to open based on another template than normal.dot?

"Dim WRDAPP, WRDDOC
Set WRDAPP = CreateObject("Word.Application")
Set WRDDOC = WRDAPP.Documents.Open("C:\Security\Procesverbaal.doc")
'Or for a new doc:
'Set WRDDOC = WRDAPP.Documents.Add

WRDAPP.Visible = True
'WRDAPP.Quit"
Regards, Lupe

Dim WRDAPP, WRDDOC

Template:= "C:\Template\yourtmplate.doc"

WRDAPP.Visible = True

Halim,
I have tested this, it opens the new document based on my template but the
toolbars for merging are missing.

add this one to your code

WRDDOC.CommandBars("mail merge").Visible = True
