Accessing Document Template field of MSWORD - 7/23/2007 12:08:35 AM

Status: offline 		Hey there,

I am trying to use vbscript to read/modify the Document Template path of a Microsoft word document.

The particular path I mean can be found by clicking
Tools -> Templates and Addins, and under "Document Template".

Any code that I have encountered so far will only allow me to get the path of the global template, and that of other added templates.


Any suggestions as to how through vbscript I can get to the document template?

Sorry about bad english, it's not my native language.

Thank you in advance.

Ps. I am using word version 2002, 10.6829.6830 sp3

The document template path points back to a share on a server which no longer exists. Since this field is stored on a document by document basis it is causing problems for me.

I can see the path if I open the .doc file with a hex editor. However, I am reluctant to change this field in the file by using an ad hoc replacement with my desired path, in fear that it may leave the file in an inconsistent state which could cause future unseen problems.
