Hi MYGS,

That is how Word templates work.

If you add the following code to your template, it will prompt the user to save immediately a new file is created, using the template's name. From then on, the document can be edited & saved as per normal.

Code:

Private Sub Document_New()
With Dialogs(wdDialogFileSaveAs)
  .Name = Split(ThisDocument.AttachedTemplate.Name, ".")(0)
  .Show
End With
End Sub
