How to do subtemplate Using XML Publisher Template Builder for Word 5.6.2

Question

Is it possible to do subtemplate (similar to subreport in crystal report) using XML Publisher Template Builder for Word 5.6.2?. If yes, can anyone explain how to call or import subtemplate from main template?
Thank you

Hi V. Piraba,
Here is how it works for me in Microsoft Word 2003. I'm not sure if it will work in Word 5.6.2.
Creating Subtemplates
1) Make sure you fill in the “Territory” field when creating Subtemplates. Otherwise there will be no way to import the Subtemplate into another Template. The Import command requires the Territory field to call it from other Templates. You will get a big Java error if you try to import a Subtemplate that does not have the Terriroty field populated.
Importing Subtemplates
1) Place the following syntax at the beginning of your XML Publisher template to import a subtemplate (in Oracle Applications)
<?import:xdo://XDO.[Template Code Name].English.US?>
Example: <?import:xdo://XDO.WC_SUBTEMPLATE_LOGOS.English.US?>
2) Use the following commands to importing Subtemplates from local/network drives (outside of Oracle Applications):
<?import:file:C:/Temp/WC Subtemplate - Logos.rtf?>
<?import:file:L://Templates/WC Subtemplate - Logos.rtf?>
<?import: file:///C:WorkChemical.xsl?>
You can email me at [email protected] if you have further questions.
Hope this helps!
