open document based on template by hyperlink in word

[pulse]

Hello,
I have a hyperlink in word and want to open a document that is based on a
template that's in the hyperlink.
Like adres: c:\test.dot and then open
document1.doc
based on test.dot. Is this possible. I read a solution (with a shortcut that
didn't work on my computer) about hyperlinks in internet explorer but that's
different I guess.
Thanks a lot

I know this is late, but I just saw this. Why don't you use a macrobutton field
in your document that you double click.

First, create a macro:
Sub OpenTest1Doc
Documents.Add Template:= _
"C:\test.dot", _
NewTemplate:=False, DocumentType:=0
End Sub

This will open a document based on test.dot

Next create this field:

{ macrobutton "OpenTest1Doc" "DisplayText" }

where the curly brackets are inserted by pressing Ctrl+jF9, not typed. It will
require double, instead of single clicking.

Hope this helps.

If you also create an AutoNew macro in the document with the following code,
the macrobutton field will only require a single click.

Sub AutoNew()
Options.ButtonFieldClicks = 1
End Sub
