I am not all that new a user. I have Word 2000 at home and 97 at work.
What I am trying to do is this.I would like a way to get to the template
dialog or ideally open an instance of a specific template
programmatically (ie from an html page on my local machine). any help
would be appreciated.

The easiest way to open a document based on a specific template is to put a
shortcut to the template on your desktop (since the default behavior for
..dot files is New, you get a new document instead of opening the template).
Creating a document from a template with a Web page link is virtually
impossible, I think.

Don't underestimate the power of the source[0], young Barnwalker. ;-)



[0] The source code of scripting languages like VbScript. I cannot
imagine that this could not be done with some script, however byzantine
it may be.

Actually a plain old hyperlink is all that was needed since (as you
pointed out) the default behavior is "new"
