    Sure-

    Look in the Customize toolbars / menus box.
    You can get to it by clicking the triangle at the end of a toolbar.

    I assigned a keyboard command to it.

    Go to Commands, and select All commands.
    Scroll down to FileNewDefalt and FileNew
    Right now they both say normal template. I was hoping to find a way to get
    one to say open a new document based on [Neva's template]

    I certainly don't want to mess with my Normal template. I have too much data
    stored there.

    I've make keystroke macros, assigned them hot keys, and even assigned them a
    picture from the set offered when you look in the command properties box, at
    the drop-down list where the icon is shown.

    I could do that for opening one of my templates as well, no doubt.

    Just thought since there were actually different commands listed in the set
    of commands for FileNew and FileNewDefault, there might be a handy, pre-set
    way of doing it.

    talk to you later-
    njs
