AutoNew macro doesn't run

[John Bacon]

Word 2002
I'm starting word from command line with /t<template> switch.
The AutoNew macro doesn't start.
It does start when I open a new doc based on the template from windows.
I've tried using the /m<macro> name switch as documented on web but this
also doen't run the macro.
What clever trick am I missing?

this is expected behavior

It does start when I open a new doc based on the template from windows.
I've tried using the /m<macro> name switch as documented on web but this
also doen't run the macro.

The /m switch only runs macros saved in the Normal.dot template

There is no way to trigger a macro in a template when running it from the
command line.

Cindy:

I am having a similar problem with AutoNew in Word 2007 but my template is
on a shared network drive, I can bring up the template from any pc in the
office; however, the macro is missing. I have set the template to read only
but that has not fixed the problem. What am I missing here?

Thanks in advance!
