Sounds crazy and I'm not sure if it can be done, I want to open a word 2010 macro enabled template, on opening word opens up but no 'paper' or 'document' is open on screen, I have a VBA form that opens so they select the correct template they are going to use from that form.

I'd like the template (selected from the form) to then load in to that instance of word.

I have the template already working except that when the template opens the 'paper' or 'document' is visible in the background, the form works exactly how I want it to but after some initial testing the users did not like starting with a 'white page' in the back ground to begin with (the templates they select from the form have different background colours, its an accounts thing!). I have tried to minimize word on opening which works but if something like Outlook or Excel are open on screen then the form is hidden behind that application which causes confusion!

If it can't be done then they will just have to put up with it but thought its worth a question here!

Update...

Just had a brain wave, Simply closed the document when I called the form! and as this all happens when the template is opened they do not see the blank 'paper' just the form!

Solved!
