From: Asa Cronqvist on 4 Jan 2010 04:05 I have made a template. Lets call it test.dot. When my client opens a document based on the template, the document is automatically named test1. The next document she opens is named test2. Etc. But when I open a document based on the same template - I get document1, document2, etc. What I want is the latter. My client also wants document1, etc. Can anybody help?
From: Doug Robbins - Word MVP on 4 Jan 2010 18:49 Is the user using File>New and selecting the template as the basis for the document that she wants to create? Or is she using File>Open and selecting the template (actually opening the template, not creating a new document from it)? -- Hope this helps, Doug Robbins - Word MVP Please reply only to the newsgroups unless you wish to obtain my services on a paid professional basis.

From: Asa Cronqvist on 5 Jan 2010 03:14 She is double-clicking on it, which is the same as File, New. She is not opening the template. If she did - she wouldn't get the number after the file name. She would get the exact file name. A colleague suggested this might have something to to with leftover temp-files after Word crashed. I will try to delete those and see if that helps. Another colleague suggested it might have something to do with service packs. I will find out.

The naming convention suggests that what she is doing is Open as Copy, but since that's not even one of the actions that can be chosen as default, you may be right about the temp files. -- Suzanne S.
