FileTemplates

Syntax:

FileTemplates [.Template - text] [, .LinkStyles - number]

Example:

This sample macro creates a document with sample text formatted with the Closing style. It then attaches the document to the letter template and links the styles. The text in the document changes when the new closing style is applied.

   Sub MAIN
      FileNewDefault
      Style "Closing"
      Insert "This is a test."
      MsgBox "Press OK to attach this document to the Letter1 template."
      FileTemplates .Template - "Letter1", .LinkStyles - 1
   End Sub
