Hi Tom,



I came across the following link, which shows how you can modify Word's QAT and the Windows Registry to manage the creation of new files from templates. You might find that an improvement on what you now have. See: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...istry2007.html

You could roll out a VisualBasic script file that applies the changes to all users' PCs. See, for example: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/256986

Sorry macropod it took so long before I replied to your posts.
I'm working on several projects at the same time.

Your suggestion about using Application.Dialogs(wdDialogFileNew).Show is interesting, but no option.
Now we're trying implement a global template because the current way of working (with toolbar and macro's that are copied from a document to all normal.dots) takes to much time. So we don't want to modify normal.dot.

Unfortunately we're still using 2003 and we want change before next year, so manupilating QAT is also not an option. Since we are also using application virtualization (Citrix XenApp) it could also become very complicated.

So I'm a bit stuck with the solution of the global template.
I tried your code, it says "true" for all templates.
Does this mean changes had been made to all of them?

Best regards

Tom
