I had to wipe my workstation's hard drive clean to eliminate hidden/unknown
virus issues. Fortunately, I saved all of my documents, data, etc. to my
network before the re-format, etc. Unfortunately, I forgot to save/backup
several years worth of templates created and saved within the MS Office
Templates subfolder. I still have numerous already-merged documents made and
saved from the original templates and, as such, I can see the merge field
codes (if I reveal codes), formatting, etc., but I can't figure out if there
is a way to clear out the data while still keeping the merge codes intact
(i.e., so I can then re-save this as a new blank template). Obviously, I
could re-type/re-create a new template using the old codes, etc., as a guide
but not only am I stupid (see above) but lazy, so I'm hoping there's some
quasi-secret trick to returning the already-merged document back into its
original template form (i.e., sans saved data). Any ideas or suggestions?
