Word 2003 Template Macros

[James]

Hi, I want to create a document template that contains some VBA code to
create a custom toolbar.

I want this to run when:

1. A user creates a new document from the template, or
2. A user opens an existing document created from the template.

I know I can put VBA code in the Document_New and Document_Open events to
make this happen, but one annoying consequence of this is that the VBA code
fires when I open the template to make changes to it.

Is there a way to detect when the I am opening the template itself for
editing and prevent the VBA code from running?

Hold down the Shift key when you open the template.
The Shift key prevents all Auto macros from running.

It's for Word 2000, but perhaps the same applies for your version
of Word.
