Hi Paul, Ø Does anyone know of a no-fuss way to have a dotx file open as a new Untitled.docx from a document library?
I assume you mean though the new button? The only way I know of is via a content type. Ø The only method Ive found which opens the document as expected is to use the Send To->Download a Copy function but this isnt very intuitive for end users. Its actually behaviour of IE, Check out http://support.microsoft.com/kb/870853 for more details Ø Im trying to avoid creating a new content type for every document template and am sure there must be a simple way to achieve this. Isnt that the purpose of a Content Type? To apply a standard template to multiple document libraries?

No matter what I do, all default methods for opening a file result in it being opened as a Read Only server document (in IE at least).
