Kind of a two part question: When I go into file, new - how can I get the
template list to show up in detail format not big icons?
Press the appropriate button above the Preview window.
Secondly, I want to create a template toolbar. How can I pull the templates
I want from the file, new listing to the new toolbar.
Create a button for each template, and assign a unique macro to the
OnAction property for each button. Each macro will have the following
sytnax, replacing the path and filename of ThisTemplate.dot with the
appropriate template path and filename:
Public Sub NewThisTemplateDocument ()
Documents.Add Template:= "C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Office\Templates\ThisTemplate.dot", NewTemplate:= False
End Sub
Better, assign a single sub to handle all of them. Assign the
template path and filename to the Parameter property of each toolbar
button, and assign the NewTemplateDocument sub to the OnAction
property of all of the buttons:
Public Sub NewTemplateDocument
Documents.Add Template:= CommandBars.ActionControl.Parameter,
NewTemplate:= False
End Sub
