Thanks for all of the information. I now have my symbol and am much smarter. This is a great place!

The Quote field works. Tried to research the field for better understanding but don’t have a clue why it works. What is 275? Thanks so much for your help.

Thanks so much Andrew. That’s the ticket, selecting less than the full table, coupled with adding a blank row if necessary. This has been a REAL irritant and your approach atleast gives it some simple logic.

Yes, I did learn something. I had researched that default tab command previously and had concluded it only had very limited options. (I wasn’t using it totally correct and I appreciate your illustration). The post from Hans about Send Keys not always being reliable across different installs has also proved true. I can reliably set the template dialog to show in List view with Send keys, but I still have no reliable way to get to the More tab. I had even tinkered with several little macros to get to the various categories (tabs) and then putting all of the macros on a menu, but again I get stuck because there doesn’t seem to be a way to tell the macro to show the template dialog with a specific tab active. I was using Ctrl+Shift+Tab via Send Keys. Does anyone know a way to use Send Keys specifying a specifc tab. I again have researched to no avail. Drat! Thanks all, I am smarter but still not happy with solution or lack there of .

I did try :
Dialogs(wdDialogFileNew).DefaultTab = xxx
When the pick list comes up, there are no options for DialogFileNew. That particular dialog isn’t listed????? I really want to pick the “More” tab, but maybe it can’t be done??? I tried typing my own tab name, but to no avail.
Thanks Jan.

Good news, When you move between Custom Template categories (vs the categories that come WITH Word), the template dialog box always goes back to General. So the Shift+Tab trick works unless you happen to choose one of the Word categories. So this might have to be the solution until I find something better.

BIG THANKS for all of the suggestions.

Got to be a way to get to a specific tab? The only way Iogically that I can think the Shift+tab thing could work is IF there was a way to RESET the dialog back to the General Tab, the way it is when you first open Word. Thanks again.

Works great to display templates in LIST format. Now I would like to take it a step further, and Choose a specific category or tab within the template dialog.

Thanks for your help.
