Auto open document open (ms word 2000)

[rusty]

I have created a word document that relies quite heavily
on the document map. The document is also shared with
users around the world. my question is: can i make it so
the document map will automatically open when the doc is
opened, or do i have to rely on the user opening the
document map.

any help is much appreciated.

Hi Rusty,

You could create a macro that automatically opens the document map.
However 'users around the world' need to have their macro security set
to at least Medium for the macro to run.

Place the following macro in the "ThisDocument" module:

Private Sub Document_Open()
ActiveWindow.DocumentMap = True
End Sub

If you do not know what to do with the above macro take a look at this
article:
