DocumentOpen event does not run

[Caroline Miller]

We use a DocumentOpen event procedure to carry out a set
of checks/actions whenever a document is opened.
This works fine, as a rule.
But if in a Word session any other procedure is stopped
for whatever reason (this seems to be one of the reasons
we 'lose' it but there may be others), after that the
event procedure does not kick in until Word is restarted,
unless the application object is re-initialised. But no
error/message is displayed to hint that anything gone
wrong.
Can duplicate the 'error' by stepping through and
stopping any procedure. After doing so the event
procedure doesn't run.
Is there a way to stop this happening, or to
automatically re-initialise the application object if it
does?
Any help appreciated.
