Open macro-enabled template as new Document in Browser
Hi everybody
I'm trying to link a macro-template on a share (ex. X:\Dot1.dotm). If I click the link in the browser(file://X:\Dot1.dotm) it opens not a new document, but the template itself. Is it possible to open it as a new document, like you double-click it on the filesystem and a new document gets open? Thanks very much for help. Samuel. |

What you are seeing is the way hyperlinks work. I don't think there is a way
around it. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Samuel" wrote in message ... Hi everybody I'm trying to link a macro-template on a share (ex. X:\Dot1.dotm).

Open macro-enabled template as new Document in Browser
No hyperlinks work if you link to a file with the http:// protocol.
The file protocol opens the template itselfs. Maybe the data protocol will help? I am very thankful for a solution.

Open macro-enabled template as new Document in Browser
As far as I know, Open is the only thing you can do with documents that you
access via a link in an HTML document. The other file actions, such as New in this case, depends on file associations on your computer. However, it might be worth asking in a programming newsgroup such as microsoft.public.word.vba.general where people are likely to be more knowledgeable on this topic. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Samuel" wrote in message ...
