Is it possible to embed .dotm template code in a .docx file ?

Kizo1 asked:

Hello,
As the title says, I need to embed a word .dotm template within a regular .doc/.docx file.

The reason I need to do this is because there is a somewhat larger number of templates that my company has, and they are all share code that is located in one global template.

The goal is to being able to send our clients only the .doc/.docx file, and the global .dotm template and avoid sending all of the (pretty large number of) .dotm templates.

The problem is that .doc/.docx files only store a reference to the template they're created with. (ex. A.docx stores a reference to B.docm, which in turn gets some code from OurGlobalTemplate.dotm).

My question is whether it is possible to embed the template VBA code from B.docm to A.docx (and avoid sending B.docm to our clients)?

Thanks, in advance, for any answers.
