From: "Tony Jollans" My forename at my surname dot on 11 Mar 2010 04:24 If you really have a template called Upp.doc, then you need to create a template called Upp.doc in the folder along with your document. The way to do this is to create a real template (saving it in Word as a .dot template) and then to rename it as Upp.doc (replying Yes to the prompt about changing extensions). That said, if you have this very unusual situation, you may have something else odd as well. -- Enjoy, Tony www.WordArticles.com "KaiserClaw" <KaiserClaw(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:EEA1565F-9427-40CB-9016-87E3C6FF21BB(a)microsoft.com... > No, it´s just this path..
