MS Office Forum / Word / Menus and Toolbars / June 2004VB coding for running a macro upon opening template?
Can someone share the line of VB coding that would start a macro upon template opening? A downloadable example with this type of thing incorporated would be better due to my VB newbiness, but I'll try with just the coding. I've not been able to find anything online. But I suspect that I'm not googling for the right term(s) as I don't know what this type of thing is called in VB terms. Thanks. If by "template opening" you mean upon creation of a new document based on the template, you just need to name the macro AutoNew. -- Suzanne S.

Well, d'uh! <lol> I did research and looked on the net and I found a reference to AutoNew, but they didn't say this in so many words so I was left without a clue on how to do this. <g> Thanks, that sure was an easy one! Word's Auto macros aren't terribly well documented, but here's a quick rundown: AutoExec: runs on starting the application AutoOpen: runs on opening a document or template AutoNew: runs on creating a new document from a template AutoClose: runs on closing a document or template AutoExit: runs on quitting the application For further documentation, see "WD2000: Auto Macros in Word" at http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=211659 -- Suzanne S.

That saves a lot of leg work. <g> >-- >Suzanne S. Barnhill [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] >> >> Thanks, that sure was an easy one! |
