Template no longer available

[John Yarrall]

I have a document with an attached template. When the document is moved to a
different computer at home the template is in a different path.
The UI (Tools>Templates and AddIns) shows the original template and path.
Clicking Organizer gives the error "This document template does not exist"
so Word is aware of the original template name.

ActiveDocument.AttachedTemplate returns Normal.dot.

Is there a way of getting the orignal template name?

Regards

Hi John,

Note that this works in relation to the currently active document, you can't
do it for just any document that's open in Word.

Thanks Cindy

I must get more familiar with the builtin dialog objects.
