running a macro on document open

[Lucas Karpiuk]

hi, i want to automatically change one of the page setup options for every
document that is opened. i've got the code to make the change i want, but
how do i format it to run everytime a document is opened?

thanks

Put it in an AutoOpen macro in your normal.dot template.

You may want to have it also write a document variable to the document to
show that it has been updated and check for that variable before it runs
through your changes, or not.

this is what i'm unclear on, so i just create a sub called AutoOpen?

ie.

Sub AutoOpen()
....
End Sub
