Word 2013 VBA - Save template including macro modules

I have an macro-enabled template. One function is saving the current document (based on the template) as another macro-enabled template. Code:

Private Sub cmdSaveAsTemplate_Click()



    Dim choice As Integer

    Dim dia As FileDialog



    Set dia = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogSaveAs)

    dia.FilterIndex = 5

    dia.InitialFileName = "TEMPLATE DealDoc"



    choice = dia.Show

    If choice <> 0 Then

        dia.Execute



    End If



End Sub

This code works fine except that the saved "copy" does not contain the macros and forms.

I want the saved template to contain the makro modules, forms and the code inside "ThisDocument".

It's not possible to save the macros in an attached template into a document created from the template using SaveAs, not even when saving as file type docm.

The only way would be to create the new file as a new template, right from the start:

Documents.Add Template:=pathNameToTemplate, NewTemplate:=True

Okay, thanks. Then I will need to rethink the whole process and instead use the saved copy as a data-document that is possible to import back.
