SUMMARY
If you have an AutoNew macro in the NORMAL.DOT template and you start Microsoft Word for Windows, a new document is created, but the AutoNew macro does not run.



MORE INFORMATION
The AutoNew macro only runs if you open a new document after starting Word for Windows. The AutoExec macro will run when starting Word for Windows.

For more information on AutoNew, search for &quot;auto macros&quot; and &quot;Creating macros that run automatically&quot; using the Help menu.
