Can't get Word::IApplicationEvents2 to fire

[bubbans_2]

I have a dialog based MFC AppWizard application in which I'm attemptin
to wire up a Word::IApplicationEvents2 handler. I had no proble
wiring up a Word::IApplicationEvents handler, but for some reason th
IApplicationEvents2 handler reactes strangely. The event handle
methods for only 3 of the events get called: Startup, Quit
DocumentChange. I implemented a handler for the DocumentOpen, but i
never gets called. I've seen 1 other person complain of this exac
same problem, but it look like he never got an answer. Does anyon
have any ideas as to what is wrong here?

<code>
Word::_ApplicationPtr spWord;

OleInitialize(NULL);

CoInitialize(NULL);

HRESULT hr = spWord.CreateInstance(__uuidof(Word::Application));
ASSERT(SUCCEEDED(hr));

spWord->put_Visible(VARIANT_TRUE);
spWord->Activate();
Sleep(3000);

static const GUID IID_IWordAppEvents2 =
{0x000209fe,0x0000,0x0000,{0xC0,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x46
};

// Steps for setting up events.
// 1. Get server's IConnectionPointContainer interface.
// 2. Call IConnectionPointContainerFindConnectionPoint()
// to find the event you want to catch.
// 3. Call IConnectionPoint::Advise() with the IUnknown
// interface of your implementation of the events.
// Get server's IConnectionPointContainer interface.
IConnectionPointContainer *pConnPtContainer;
hr = spWord->QueryInterface(IID_IConnectionPointContainer,
(void **)&pConnPtContainer);
ASSERT(!FAILED(hr));

// Find connection point for events you're interested in.
hr = pConnPtContainer->FindConnectionPoint(IID_IWordAppEvents2,
&m_pConnectionPoint);
ASSERT(!FAILED(hr));

// Get the IUnknown interface of your event implementation.
LPUNKNOWN pUnk = m_myEventSink.GetInterface(&IID_IUnknown);
ASSERT(pUnk);

// Setup advisory connection!
hr = m_pConnectionPoint->Advise(pUnk, &m_adviseCookie);
ASSERT(!FAILED(hr));

// Release IConnectionPointContainer interface.
pConnPtContainer->Release();
