Macro to Determine Attached Template Filename

• Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

SUMMARY

In Word 6.0 for Windows, your macro may need to determine which template is attached to the current document. To determine which template is attached, you can dimension the FileTemplates or FileSummaryInfo dialog box to retrieve the template name.

WARNING: ANY USE BY YOU OF THE CODE PROVIDED IN THIS ARTICLE IS AT YOUR OWN RISK. Microsoft provides this macro code "as is" without warranty of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability and/or fitness for a particular purpose.

Use either of the following macros to return the filename and the MS-DOS path of the attached template file:

Sub MAIN
Dim dlg As FileTemplates
GetCurValues dlg
x$ = dlg.Template
MsgBox x$
End Sub 

Sub MAIN
Dim dlg As FileSummaryInfo
GetCurValues dlg
x$ = dlg.Template
Msgbox x$
End Sub 

MORE INFORMATION

The following example determines if the current template is the Normal template file (NORMAL.DOT). If the Normal template is not attached, the macro uses the FileTemplates statement to attach the Normal template file.

Sub MAIN
Dim dlg As FileSummaryInfo
GetCurValues dlg
x$ = dlg.Template
If InStr(x$, "NORMAL.DOT") = 0 Then
 FileTemplates .Template = "Normal.dot"
End If
End Sub
