saving varibles

Hi all
How do you save teh value of a varible to be used in other
template?
I have a sub in template (Template1) with the varible
(MyVar) that closes Template1 and opens another template
(Template2) that needs MyVar.
I am using Word97 and WordXP.

When you close Template1, any variable value in the template's memory
will disappear. You need to save it somewhere else -- as a document
variable (a member of the ActiveDocument.Variables collection), or as
a registry value or a value in an "ini" file (using the
PrivateProfileString function). When Template2 loads, its code can
then read the value from wherever you stashed it.
