asked on Can I insert a hyperlink to a Word Template which will open the template as a New Document?
When I insert a hyperlink to a template in Word 2010, the document opens as a template instead of a new document. Is there a way (without VBA) to create the hyperlink so that it opens the file as a new document?

I would like to insert a hyperlink into a regular (.docx) document that links TO a template. When the hyperlink is clicked, I would like the document to open as a regular document. Currently, the hyperlink (in a normal .docx file) is opening the document as a template.
No - the hyperlink will only open the actual file and will not create a new document!
I misunderstood the initial question - sorry about that :-(
