"Getting rid" of tem,plate information

[Jan Kronsell]

I have a document, based on a certain template. This template is placed on a
server.

When I mail documents based on this template to customers, and they try to
open the document, Word starts searching for the template in the customers.
It takes a long time, and only when Word "are sure" the template is not
there, it opens the document. This is annoying to my customers.

Is there anyway I can remove the connection between document and template,
before mailing the document, maybe using Document_Close() or someting like
that.?

You can do this by hand without VBA. Go to the Tools menu, Temaplteas and
add-ins set normal.dot as the attached template and then save.

If you want some VBA code to do the same, the thing to do is set the
ActiveDocument.AttachedTemplate property to normal.dot.

Be sure that the box to update styles is _not_ checked in the Templates and
Add-Ins dialog.
