cmarti,

This code is VERY close to working. Not quite, but close.

What I "think" is happening is that the DOC1.DOC is open, copies data,
but then never switches to the .DOT
Then does a Save-AS to DOC4.DOC from DOC1.DOC

Maybe someone else can work on it with you. I don't have any more time
today to look at it.

code:
break on
ChangeTemplate("C:\Temp\test1.doc","C:\Temp\miscinfo.dot")
Function ChangeTemplate($Document,$Template)
	Dim $oWord
	$oWord = CreateObject('Word.Application')
	$RC = $oWord.Documents.Open($Template)
	$RC = $oWord.Documents.Open($Document)
	$oWord.Selection.WholeStory
	$oWord.Selection.Copy
	$oWord.ActiveDocument = $Template
	$oWord.Selection.PasteAndFormat("wdPasteDefault")
        $oWord.ChangeFileOpenDirectory("C:\temp\")
        $oWord.ActiveDocument.SaveAs("Doc4.doc", 0)
	$oWord.Application.Quit(0)
EndFunction
