We found the following document on the help function. The
problem is we are running Office 2000 and cannot seem to
implement this help function.
Could someone please help, we are interested in the:
/t(templatename) function

Control what happens when you start Microsoft Word

In Microsoft Windows 95, click the shortcut icon for
Microsoft Word using the right mouse button, click
Properties, and then click the Shortcut tab.
In Microsoft Windows NT, click the Word program icon, and
then click Properties on the File menu.

In the Target box or the Command Line box, enter the path
to Word; this path is usually C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Office\Office\Winword.exe.


At the end of the path, type a startup switch from the
following table:


Type To
/a Start Word and prevent add-ins and global templates
(including the Normal template) from being loaded
automatically.
The /a switch also locks the setting files, that is the
setting files cannot be read or modified if you use this
switch.

/laddinpath Start Word and then load a specific Word add-
in.
/m Start Word without running any AutoExec macros.
/mmacroname Start Word and then run a specific macro.
The /m switch also prevents Word from running any AutoExec
macros.
/n Start a new instance of Word with no document open.
Documents opened in each instance of Word will not appear
as choices in the Window menu of other instances.
/ttemplatename Start Word with a new document based on a
template other than the Normal template.
/w Start a new instance of Word with a blank document.
Documents opened in each instance of Word will not appear
as choices in the Window menu of the other instances.
(no switch) A new Word window is opened with a blank
document using the existing instance of the Word
application.

Note To suppress automatic macros without using
switches, hold down SHIFT while you start Word. If you
start Word from the Office Shortcut Bar, click the button
for the program on the Office Shortcut Bar first, and then
immediately hold down SHIFT while Word starts.
