Given that the userform is in a template, a new document is created when you double-click on the template. Closing that document will also close the template unless another document based on the same template is already open.



If you want the form to remain on-screen so you can edit the document, change its ShowModal property from True to False.

It you want to revise an existing document via the userform, add an AutoOpen macro to your template, then open that document without starting a new one via the template.
