The documentation says to use "/mMacroName" to run a macro when starting
Word (from cmd line). But this doesn't work for me. Word starts and
then just sits there doing nothing.

I have "MacroName" in a .dot file in the Word startup dir (not a
Normal.dot file). It's not in a user's startup dir.

Is this setup supposed to work?

From your description Word would have no way of knowing about this macro.
Put it in normal.dot and Word will find it.
