The type info is totally separate from the templates, logically and in the code. I don't see how you could move that with the templates. For the rest, it sounds like you want a separate document type? That would preclude easy editing of templates in TextEdit. However, if the template editor's state could be archived and saved such that they could always be reopened, maybe it could become the exclusive way to edit templates? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
