I realize that I am not answering your question, but if you want a
dark background on every new document that is based on normal.dotm and
and normal.dotx why don't you just open the templates, set the
background and save them?

Greg is correct but I will try to answer the question for anybody that wants
to know.
If you create a new document (File > New) in Word, the event code should run
but it is *not* fired when Word is opened with a new blank document - I have
never come across any explanation for this, it's just the way it is.

Enjoy,
