Headers and footers from newly attached template

[Stefan Blom]

Attaching a template will only give you access to the styles of that
template, not to headers and footers.

Try the following: Create a document based on your PageNumber.dot
template. That document has the headers and footers of the template
(obviously). Use Insert>File to bring in the document which doesn't
have headers and footers.

For more information, see:

How is it possible to copy an entire document into another document
without bringing across the header and footer?

Normal.dot has no page numbering assigned, and no headers or footers.

PageNumber.dot has it all (and it also has some other important text in the
headers and footers that I want).

I start a document with Normal.dot as the template.

I 'change my mind' about headers and footers, and now want to attach
PageNumber.dot to the document.

I wrote the following code and attached it to a button

ActiveDocument.AttachedTemplate = PageNumber.dot

Word flashes and obviously has made the connection (and it shows properly in
the Addins and Templates screen), but no headers and footers exist.

Is there a way to call in the headers and footers of an external template
once the document has been started?

Thanks.
