MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / October 2006Autonew
I'd like to add a autonew sub without modifing normal.dot (ie I want to open a dialog every time a user opens a new document, and would prefere not to modify normal.dot since it concerns quite some users who all have there own modifications). Any ideas? /e What is the purpose of the autonew. It would be more normal for you to create a template to be used when want whatever it is to happen.  SignatureHope this helps.

I have a customized dialog with customized settings from where I have a bunch of templates I would like to choose from. I want that customized dialog to open every time I open a new document without modifing normal.dot. Is that possible?

That macro will then run in place of the Word File>New command. SignatureHope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

Is that possible? Hi Eric Yes you can do this. Create a new template. Put your customized dialog into it. Create two macros, called FileNew and FileNewDefault, each of which calls your customized dialog. Save the template, and move it to Word's Startup folder. Next time you start Word, the template will be loaded as an add-in, and the FileNew and FileNewDefault macros will override the built-in commands of the same names.
