word switch to open 2 files a a template and a macro

[neemi]

Does anyone know the syntax to open two files say

C:/File1.doc and C:/File2.doc using the template MyTemplate.dot and also run macro Mymacro from this template?

Cheers.

Have a look at the first argument of the Documents.Add method and at the Application.Run method.

Hope This Helps, PH.

Thanks for replying PHV.

I was originally using the shell command from Access to open the documents specifying a macro with /m but also require it to open with a specific template now as well. Does your suggestion still apply to this?

Have you any examples?

If File1.doc and File2.doc were created from MyTemplate.dot then the macro code is available from those files.

What do you mean "open with a specific template"? Do you mean the documents are NOT created from the template, and you need to attach a new template to them?
