Opening templates as documents

[David hendel]

I have a 'proceduress' document. I have hyperlinks to
other documents in the document. I want to do something
similar to templates, but I want the documents to open as
documents, not as a template.

If I create a hyperlink to the template, it opens as the
template (both in Word and Excel). I want the user to
click on a word or 2 in the document and have the new
document open, based on the template.

Anybody have any ideas

Hi David,

I have a 'proceduress' document. I have hyperlinks to

click on a word or 2 in the document and have the new
document open, based on the template.

For this, you'd need to use a MacroButton field that runs a
macro, and this would create a new document from the
template.
