Re: Opening Word Template with Macros

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

The article you reference also shows the method to create new documents
based on your own custom template. I suggest that you explore this. Build
your customizations into your template in advance, not a part of your code.

Again, you do not want to be opening a template. You want to be using the
documents.add method referencing your template instead.
