Unlinking a document from the template

B

Bernhard Mäder

Hi Group

Once again I'm trying to let people use my templates not only at work,
but at home as well. To make things complicated, they shouldn't need to
take the template with them. So, I need to get things out of the
template and into the document.

Three problems arise:

1) There can't be autotext in a document (right?), so I'll have to
unlink the autotext entries from the template and insert them directly
into the document.

2) Macros, Toolbars, Menus: I'll have to copy them to the document in
Document_new.

3) Styles are automatically copied by word and only updated from the
template on request. So, for once, Word is working with me.

So, my questions are: Is this all right? Isn't there an easy way of
doing all this? And: how can I do 2) right? E.g. I can't see any means
of enumerating all macros (and forms, and toolbars, etc.) in a certain
document.

Thanks for any input!

cheers,
Bernhard

It would be easier to take the template. What you describe is feasible
(just), but it really is hell on wheels trying to get this sort of code to
work in a way that is acceptable to the users.

Thanks for your answer.

Yeah, I sort of thought it was a bit queer. But then again, I don't
think that this is such a special requirement, somehow Word should help
me doing this.

I'll give it a try anyway...

Does someone know how to handle the macro/toolbar/menu enumeration
stuff?

Thx & cheers
Bernhard
