Triggering Save As dialog box when updating a dotm file

Charles Kenyon · #8 05-21-2024, 01:11 PM

Just to clarify:

You are opening the template for editing, not using it to create a new document?
You want a backup saved in addition to the one provided by the Save Backup function?

Again, the customary use of a document template is the creation of new documents based on the template, not opening the template.

To test what went wrong, I simply opened a working .dotm file, made a minor change to an existing comment line, and saved it.

Even this stops the function where opening the .dotm file results in the Save As dialog.
