Attaching a dotx template to another dotx template
Hello,
We have, say, exactly 200 different Word dotx templates.
One of these templates, we treat as the master for the purpose of holding a library of styles and we store this template centrally on the network.
We attach all documents
to this template, but, as far as I know, you cannot attach a dotx template file to another dotx template file.
Instead of having to maintain the master style library in 200 templates, we are strongly considering converting the 199 non-style-library templates
to docx files, so that we can attach these document files to the style library master template.
We have a document body (i.e., not the file extension) naming convention that indicates that these 199 documents are quasi-templates, so we would still be able
to distinguish “document docx files” from “template docx files”.
Does anyone have experience of this approach, or of a work-around? Alternatively, what we really need is the ability to attach a template to another template.
Many thanks.
Keith
Anwsers to the Problem Attaching a dotx template to another dotx template
It appears from your description that you want to add style sets from a master template to other templates either on an ad hoc basis or all at once? Why not simply copy the styles from the master template to the document templates (or to the individual
document) as required? You can do this either with a macro or manually using the style organizer.
You could also create a batch process to copy the styles to all your templates.
The following example copies the 3 named styles from the master to the currently open document
Sub CopyMyStyles()
Dim vStyle As Variant
Dim oDoc As Document
Dim i As Long
Const strStyleSource As String = "C:\Path\MasterStyles.dotx"
Const strStyle As String = "ListNum A|ListNum B|ListNum C" 'Put the stylenames to copy here separated by "|"
vStyle = Split(strStyle, "|")
Set oDoc = ActiveDocument
On Error Resume Next
For i = 1 To UBound(vStyle)
Application.OrganizerCopy Source:=strStyleSource, _
Destination:=oDoc, _
name:=vStyle(i), _
Object:=wdOrganizerObjectStyles
Next i
End Sub
