I have a requirement to allow a user to open Word from within my Delphi app, opening a template. This problem is different from my recent post. Word does not allow you to browse to an appropriate template location. Tools/Options/File Locations sets the template location... period. My question is, how can I determine the template path for Word on machine x, which could be Win2K or XP, with anything from Word97 forward? I need to put the template there at install time so it can be used later. I browsed the registry 'til I was blue in the face, and can find nothing I can use.

Read/write String." MyWordApplication.Options.DefaultFilePath(wdUserTemplatesPath) Or you can substitute wdWorkgroupTemplatesPath for workgroup templates, or wdStartupPath for Global templates. The new setting takes effect immediately. "You can use an empty string ("") to remove the setting from the registry (Windows 95 and Windows NT) or Word Settings ( (Macintosh)."
