I would like to create a link to a word template within a powerpoint presentation, to create a new document in Word, but trying to do so, it is the actual template which is opened and edited.

I don't think you can the link will always open the template.

You can do this by making the "LINK" run code (Insert > Action > Run Code

The code would look like this

Code:

Sub wordOpen()
Dim oWdApp As Object
On Error Resume Next
Set oWdApp = GetObject(Class:="Word.Application")
If oWdApp Is Nothing Then _
Set oWdApp = CreateObject(Class:="Word.Application")
oWdApp.Visible = True
'change the path!!
oWdApp.Documents.Add Template:="C:\Users\John\Desktop\whT.dotx"
End Sub

Thanks, it works! Also found that hyperlinking pure text directly in Word functions, but as soon as theres a little more graphics involved, it seems that your sullution is the thing...
