You can add a couple of macros to Word's 'Normal' template to manage this. See: https://www.msofficeforums.com/word/...html#post44910

For installation instructions, see: http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm. Do note, though, that you don't need to create a code module for these macros; they must be put in the Normal template's 'ThisDocument' module.
