Running Macros in a Word Template...

[hoialmen]

Hi All!

I have a Letterhead template that, when opened, opens a user form that allows the user to key in all the recipient information (name, address, city, etc.). Now, I usually launch the template through a custom command button that I've installed on a toolbar in Normal.dot. When I open the template from here, everything works great, however, when I try to open the template directly (by double clicking on it) the macros don't run.

So, is this by design or is there something I'm doing wrong?

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

You've got the code in the Document_Open, right? For a template, you need it in the Document_New. Anne Troy

Dreamboat,

Thanks for the tip! Simple and logical.

Careful, Nate. Sometimes you'll want BOTH. Anne Troy

Yep, I actually set it up to handle both and it works.

Thanks again for the tip!
