I currently have a template written in Word 2003 when I open it it opens as a new (Document1) but the Document_Open() function from the original template does not run. I use this function to disable all Command bars and open a pre-defined Command bar that has limited functionallity, it all works if you open the template as a template but not if you open it by using a desktop shortcut.

Can anyone help please

Found the answer " Use Documen_New() not Document_Open()"
