Word: Macro don't works with ".dot" documents?

[zoomby]

hi!

I have written a macro for a word document. But when I save the document with ".dot" the macro doesn't start.
How can I solve the problem?

You may want to try assigning the macro an AutoExec, AutoOpen name in the .DOT file you reference.

When do you want this macro to start? All the time? Then assign it to the Normal.dot template.

thanks for the reply. Now I have a Module "AutoOpen" with the function "Public Sub MAIN()" in the "Normal" section, but the Macro still doesn't start.
What's wrong?

I think you want the sub to be called "AutoNew". This will start the macro anytime a new document is created based on that template. The macro should be stored in the template only. If you name it AutoOpen, it will run every time you open a document created with that template. Always store the AutoNew and AutoOpen macros in the templates not in Normal.dot
