Within our corporate intranet, I have a link on a web page to an =
existing Word template in the file system. Clicking on the hyperlink =
works fine but opens the template itself rather than creating a new =
document based on the template. The form of the hyperlink is:

file:///L:/Workgroup Templates/Fax Coversheet

It is a simple html document with a list of all the templates available. =
Staff can click on one of the hyperlinks and I want it to open a NEW =
document based on the template, not open the template itself, just like =
when they double-click on a template in Windows Explorer.

How do I tell it to use the new action on the template rather than the =
open action??

Thanks.
