Is there a way to launch a Powerpoint template from Word using VBA?  We have  
  
a standardized Powerpoint template we want to make easily available to users.  
  
When they need it, I would like them to be able to click on a toolbar button  
  
to launch it.  We currently do that with some Excel workbooks.  Unfortunately  
  
my VBA coding is not good enough to figure this one out.  Any and all  
  
assistance would be appreciated.  
  
Thank in advance!

ShellExecute the POT file the template's stored in.  
  
PPT's default behavior when you do this should be to start a new blank presentation  
  
based on the template.
