Message: [QUOTE="Fraser Page, post: 5425515"] Our office's frequently used documents are a huge mess. I'm trying to fix this which mostly means converting all of our 'templates' from Word files into Word templates and cleaning up styles and formating. All fine so far. (... although I wish I could figure out how to get rid of style sets, themes, numbering and list library entries, etc that I don't want anyone to use, that's another matter...) But here's the problem: The entire office opens files from within Word. I swear there are people here who don't have the slightest idea what Window Explorer is or that you can use it to navigate to and open files. And when you open template files from within Word the default behavior is to open the template. That is, you end up editing the template, not a new document based on that template. And that kind of defeats the purpose of templates. Is there any way I can force templates opened from within Word to open as new documents? Thanks [/QUOTE]
