If users create new documents from a template, the template is not going to be written over. The new document will be a new unnamed document with the content from the template. You don't 'open' templates in order to use them. If you are using autotexts then they need to be stored in the document template, or you could simply hard code the addresses into the code associated with the userform - and instead of bookmarks, which are easily overwritten, you could write to named content controls. If the address is to be repeated in several places then use mapped content controls. I suppose it depends on how many addresses are involved and who is completing the document.
