Word 5.50: Starting a Word Macro at Start-Up

PSS ID Number: Q65423 Article last modified on 11-02-1994

5.50 6.00

MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

Any macro can be started automatically when Microsoft Word loads if the macro is in the NORMAL.GLY glossary. A new feature of Word version 5.50 is a start-up switch to load any macro in the NORMAL.GLY glossary.

To start Word with a macro called “envelope”, type the following:

word/m envelope

This feature differs from having an autoexec macro in the NORMAL.GLY in that any macro (in the NORMAL.GLY) specified after the /m switch can be run when you start Word.

With Word version 5.50 and later, a macro can be loaded with the /m switch or by naming a macro “autoexec” and storing it in the NORMAL.GLY. The /m switch is not available in earlier versions of Word.
