How do I delete a global template file?

[HelenT]

Hello,

I want to delete a global template file from the start-up folder and replace it with another. How do I go about deleting the global template file via VBA?

I have looked and looked in Word help and on Google but cannot find the answer!!

Many thanks, Helen.

The following will delete the global template filename.dotm using VBA

Dim strPath As String
Const strName As String = "filename.dotm"
strPath = Application.Options.DefaultFilePath(wdStartupPath) & Chr(92)
AddIns(strPath & strName).Installed = False
Kill strPath & strName

Thanks, Graham, that's just the job! :bow:

Instead of Chr(92) or "\", you could use Application.PathSeparator

IIRC there are localization issues that it handles better
