I have created a template and need to force the opening of the File
Properties dialog when creating a new doc based on the template, or when
re-opening the doc. I have tried naming a macro AutoExec and using the
command ActiveDocument.Application.Run MacroName:="FileProperties" but it
doesn't work.

Found the answer myself. use macro name AutoNew for creating new doc from
template, and AutoOpen fffor when re-opening the doc.

You can set a document to prompt for File Properties when it is closed or
saved for the first time.
