I want to create a shortcut which opens with a Document Location different
than the default. Is there a command line instruction to do this?

Thanks

Dave

Create a macro containing the line (where path is the directory you want to
set)

ChangeFileOpenDirectory "C:\Path\"

and create a shortcut to Word with the command line Winword /mmacroname to
call that macro.

The /m parameter will run a macro whose name follows right after. So
/mMACRONAME will run a macro named MACRONAME

Now you just have to write a macro to change the Document Location....
