start up macro for ONE word document/template

M

Matthew

Hi,
I have a single Word document that I can set up as a Template or Document.
The "document" is a form that we use over and over and type data in certain
fields. I want to stop the text from moving when data is entered and the
easiest way I can see is by having "overtype" enabled for this one document"
I want to create a macro that loads automatically on start up that enables
"overtype" ONLY for this one document.
I realize using Access would be a better choice, but the user that inputs
this data does not exactly embrace change and to teach her a new application
is not a viable option. THANKS VERY MUCH for any assistance anyone can
provide!!

Write the code for the Document_Open event in the ThisDocument module for
the document, or make an AutoOpen macro in the document's template and have
the AutoOpen macro decide when to change the overtype option.
