First go with a template

[Curt]

Can anyone show me what I've done wrong in trying to open this template.
Location of template is c:\parade\Annc.temp
Let me throw my last thoughts out also. That is to try to create a macro
that will format a word.doc for printout. Have a macro that will populate the
template when I open it manually.
Thanks

Dim word As New word.Application
Dim wordDoc As word.Document
word.Visible = True
Set wordDoc = Template.Open("C:\Parade\Annc.temp")
With wordDoc
..Application.Run "tempprint1"--this fills template with a merge

From where are you running this code? There is no command Template.Open in
the Word Object Model, not Templates.Open.

If you want to create a document from a template, if that is what
"Annc.temp" really is, then you would use

Set wordDoc = Documents.Add("C:\Parade\Annc.temp")

If what you want to do is open the file Annc.temp, then you would use

Set wordDoc = Documents.Open("C:\Parade\Annc.temp")
