load macro at startup

[free_surfer]

Hello

I want to load a self-written macro at the startup of visio. But I
can't find out how I have to do this...

Any help is appreciated a lot.
Thanks.

I want to the load the macro with every Visio file, so I can't just
copy it to every single file...
I'm looking for something like the Word Startup Folder...

You'd need to create a vsl or COM add-in (or add-on) to run something from
the application. Checkout this link:

The above is no good for VBA so perhaps you should consider putting your
code in a stencil document that gets opened with other documents instead?

Best regards

Thanks a lot for your answer.

Unfortunately I'm not that good at programming.
I wrote a small and simple macro that prints a document with specific
options (PostScript Printer, print to file), so that Adobe Distiller
can create a PDF file from the print output. But this macro has to be
loaded everytime when Visio starts so that the macro is available for
every document (no matter what template was used).

Is this possible with a stencil document? If yes, could you please
give me some additional information how I can do that or where I can
find a tutorial?

Thanks a lot.
