I followed a VBA tutor to create a command button on a Word document.
After exiting VB editor and turning off Design Mode, I can see the
"Hello" msg box by clicking the command button.

However, after re-opening the saved Word document, clicking the command
button did not show the Hello msg box.

How to fix the problem with the 'Command Button' on the Word document?

TIA.
Jeffrey

Jeffrey: Do you have your Macro security settings on high?
Tools-->Macro-->Security.

Yes, I checked the Tools-->Macro-->Security, High is selected. Clicking
the command button (single or double click) did not show any msg box.

Thanks,

Exactly. When your security is set on high, the macros won't run. Set it to
anything else...

Oh, and Jeff... you have to open the document AFTER your security is set
down.
