Template Question (Word XP)

Topic

New Reply

I have a template saved in the template directory, under a subfolder. When I use the template to create a document, save and close WORD, I am asked if I want to “save changes to template ‘xyz’?

How can I prevent this question from being popping up? ( I have the files saved as ‘read only’)

1. Remove the code that makes a change to the template (good luck).
2. Add a line of code that tells Word that the template is not “dirty”; therefore,
the prompt is avoided.

Since you have a VBA6 host you can put the code in one of the app events like
DocumentBeforeClose

The line of code:

activedocument.attachedtemplate.saved = true

or the slightly more elegant:

thisdocument.saved = true

So ,

Private Sub Document_Close()
ThisDocument.Saved = True

End Sub

would close the document and bypass this questioning?

As far as “removing the code that changed it”…. I don’t even know what it’s considering a change. I can create a document, based on the template, type NOTHiNG, do NOTHING… close the document and I’ll be asked to save changes to the template.

I shouldn’t have tried this from memory. Sorry.

Here’s a post that should help: post 116985
