Sorry, I misunderstood what you were trying to do.
I just recorded a macro to open a template I use. I'm in Windows, but could be slightly different under Mac. It looks like the below
Code:
Public Sub OpenTemplate()
'
' Macro1 Macro
'
'
Documents.Add Template:= _
"C:\Users\paul.muldoon\Documents\Custom Office Templates\Blank_Report_Template.dotm" _
, NewTemplate:=False, DocumentType:=0
End Sub
I have that included in a Word Add-In in my Word Startup folder. I then added a button to the QAT to call that macro, which opens the Report Template. You could also likely recorded a KeyStroke Short cut and place it AutoExec Macro
Code:
Sub AutoExec()
With Application
' \\ Do customization in THIS document
' .CustomizationContext = ThisDocument
' \\ Add keybinding to this document Shorcut: Control-Alt+L
.KeyBindings.Add KeyCode:=BuildKeyCode(wdKeyControl, wdKeyAlt, wdKeyL), _
KeyCategory:=wdKeyCategoryCommand, _
Command:="OpenTemplate"
End With
End Sub
