Where have you got this macro? Do you want it to run when the document opens?

Rather than writing this code in a module, click under

Microsoft Word Objects

then double click on

This Document

then above the code screen where it says general click on the arrow and select document.

then to the right of that click on the arrow next to new and there is an open option. This will then run the macro whenever the document is opened.

The procedure name should be "AutoOpen". Search help file for "autoopen macro" for more details.
