MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / May 2008MACRO question - "Automatically open file when load Word"
Hi. Does anybody know how to create a macro that will automatically open a specific Word document . . . EVERY time I open Word (2007)? Here's the file path: C:\MS Word Documents\mydocument.doc So, EVERY time I load Word . . . I want this file to display on the screen(I use it all day long!) Thanks so much. > Hi. > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Thanks so much. Don't bother with a macro -- and don't screw up your Word configuration. Just make a desktop shortcut to the specific document, and double-click that shortcut each morning instead of the shortcut for Word. Making the shortcut is easy -- open the folder that contains the document file, right-click the document, and choose Send To > Desktop.

Put this sub in a module of your Normal.dot (or any other global template - Stored in Word's Start Up folder): Sub AutoExec() Documents.Open "C:\MS Word Documents\mydocument.doc" End Sub Great answer, Jean-Guy! Thanks so much. It works perfectly. I appreciate your taking the time to help me out. God bless you always.

Glad I could help, but really, Jay's idea is much easier to implement and maintain... |
