Is it possible to enable content types and use a document template?

Question

I have a library that uses a document template, and this is essential to the process that uses the library. I want to enable content types so I can remove a certain field from the edit item and view item forms. However, when I enable content types, this disables the templates option.

Is there a way around this/a way to use both?

Answer 1

You can enable content types, and make the default content type to be your document template.
