I found the answer elsewhere and I figured I would post a response so that if anyone else had this issue they could find it here.
Private Sub cmdPrint_Click()
Dim MyWord As Word.Application
Dim PathDocu As String
If Me.LawFirmName <> "" Then
Set MyWord = New Word.Application
PathDocu = "C:\Word Template\"
With MyWord
.Visible = True
.Documents.Open (PathDocu & "MailerTemp.dotx")
This is the original post question and the answer is to change this portion .Visible = True
.Documents.Open (PathDocu & "MailerTemp.dotx")
If you change the .Open to .Add it will open a new document using the template.
