Howto query the template a document is based on?

[J. Steinblock]

Hi,

is there a way to query the template a document is based on (normal.dot,
letter.dot, custom.dot etc...) from a vba-addin-code?

[Charles Kenyon]

Yes. But I simply use a Template field in the document

Thanks for reply,

but this solution won´t work for me.
I need to execute a macro everytime somebody in our company creates a new
document but not if he opens a self-made or global template-file.
If I select Insert -> Field there is a Field-Function { TEMPLATE \*
MERGEFORMAT } that returns normal.dot (or the template name). But I
haven´t found a way to access this value from my macro, yet.

Try ActiveDocument.AttachedTemplate.FullName including the full path or
ActiveDocument.AttachedTemplate.FullName for the Template only.

[Joost Spijker via OfficeKB.com]

Last one should be ActiveDocument.AttachedTemplate.Name.

Thanks a lot, Joost!

I searched for something like that in the View->localwindow, but in the
Tree ActiveDocument isn´t something like AttachedTemplate. A litte bit
undocumentated?
