Using Word 2003, is it possible, using vba, that when an existing document
is opened the cursor is placed at the end of the text in that document.

If possible, an example of code would be appreciated

Something like:

Sub GoToEnd()
With ActiveDocument
.Range(Start:=.Range.End - 1, End:=.Range.End - 1).Select
End With
End Sub

Change the name to Sub AutoOpen()

Thanks Helmet and Greg

The code was put in autoopen. What is being noticed is that if we open Doc1
from word the code works OK, however if we are using Doc1 as the document &
with Access use OLE automation for a mail merge the cursor goes to the
begining of the document..

Is there a way of incorporation the required code into the OLE automation
code

Tom
