SYMPTOMS
When you view the Type property of a Word template (on the File menu click Properties, and then click the General tab), the Type shown is Microsoft Word Document.
WORKAROUND
Microsoft provides programming examples for illustration only, without warranty either expressed or implied. This includes, but is not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. This article assumes that you are familiar with the programming language that is being demonstrated and with the tools that are used to create and to debug procedures. Microsoft support engineers can help explain the functionality of a particular procedure, but they will not modify these examples to provide added functionality or construct procedures to meet your specific requirements. To work around this problem, use the following sample Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications macro to display the correct file type. You can assign this macro to a toolbar button or the File menu.
Sub ShowFileType()
If Documents.Count <> 0 Then
Select Case ActiveDocument.SaveFormat
Case wdFormatTemplate
MsgBox "Word Template"
Case wdFormatDocument
MsgBox "Word Document"
Case wdFormatDOSText
MsgBox "MS-DOS Text"
Case wdFormatDOSTextLineBreaks
MsgBox "MS-DOS Text w/ LineBreaks"
Case wdFormatRTF
MsgBox "Rich Text Format"
Case wdFormatText
MsgBox "Text Only"
Case wdFormatTextLineBreaks
MsgBox "Text Only w/ Line Breaks"
Case wdFormatUnicodeText
MsgBox "Unicode Text"
Case Else
MsgBox FileConverters(ActiveDocument.SaveFormat).FormatName
End Select
End If
End Sub
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
