Question

I have a dotm with macros stored in it. When a new document is created, there is a reference to the dotm file (if you’re looking at the project in VBA editor) which I need to eliminate.

Is it somehow possible to do this with VBA code?

Answer 1

You can sever the original reference by replacing it with a reference to another template using the Attachedtemplate property. For example:

Private Sub Document_New()

ActiveDocument.AttachedTemplate = "C:\Users\Joe\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates\Normal.dotm"

End Sub
