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 -or-

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
