We'd like to change from icons to list (automatically, for all users).

We know about intercepting the filenew command  and using sendkeys("%2") to
do this, but this doesn't work if the user chooses to go through the task
pain and create a new document from a template that way instead of the file
| new menu.

any suggestions appreciated.

thanks.

ok, but I'm trying to say that intercepting this dialog with the filenew
macro is only working with the menu file | new command, not via the task
pain; is there another command which must be intercepted to make the task
pain new function also work with this sendkeys approach?

thanks.

Apparently, there's no way to intercept commands called via the task pane.
It's not just a problem with FileNew, but with pretty much all the
functionality. You (and anyone else customizing Word) need to complain loud
and long to Microsoft about this, via the feedback places on microsoft.com
