Word 2k Encoding Dialog

[rookieP]

Does anyone know who to bypass the 'File conversion' dialog window in Word 2k? Our mainframe generates reports that should be read in plain text, then emails the reports to specific users. When the users double-click the reports from their email they open in Word, but the user is fist asked to choose an encoding standard. It only prompts if Word is not already open with they double-click a report. Otherwise the report opens fine. Is there some macro I can write to set the programs default encoding? I tried using a macro but not had much luck. I would be greatfull for any ideas. Thanks everyone!

Did you put the macro in the doc_open event of the normal.dot file? Anne Troy

That will work if I put the code in the actual report, but not when in normal.dot. I also tried in the autoOpen() section but the encode dialog will still run.
