Lightbulb auto_open macro in WORD ???

I know that if a macro is saved as auto_open in excel it will automatically fire up when the file is accessed.

It doesn't though in Word. Anyone got a clue how to get a macro to fire up as soon as a document is opened ? Or do you have to put it into normal.dot ???

I think it needs to be in normal.dot and called AutoOpen or AutoExec.

HTH.

John.

Edited to add: Re-read your post and it doesn't need to be in normal.dot if you want it to relate to one specific file.

AutoExe is the one.
Think it needs to be in a template.
This points me in the right direction.

Thanks
