Example

This example displays the name of each template in the Templates collection.

Count = 1
For Each aTemplate In Templates
    MsgBox aTemplate.Name & " is template number " & Count
    Count = Count + 1
Next aTemplate

In this example, if template one is a global template, its path is stored in thePath. The ChDir statement is used to make the folder with the path stored in thePath the current folder. When this change is made, the Open dialog box is displayed.

If Templates(1).Type = wdGlobalTemplate Then
    thePath = Templates(1).Path
    If thePath <> "" Then ChDir thePath
    Dialogs(wdDialogFileOpen).Show
End If
