Default Word Startup Updates Message

Hi everyone,
I work in a company of 100+ office users and I have created a custom Word menu tab with various macros to roll out automated functions. This is being done by putting a .dotm template file with the relevant code in the users word/Startup folder.

However, I want to include a "Release Notes" screen on startup showing all the latest changes/updates. Now I know this can be quite simple as I could just having a form with an image on it and displaying that form on startup.

However, I know people will start to get annoyed at this popup every time they open Word so I want it to be a bit cleverer than that. I want a few tickboxes so that they can say "Do not show me this again" so that person will never see it again. And also another tickbox saying "Do not show me this until the next update" which will stop showing the message until I change the file in the Startup folder.

Anyone got any ideas on how I can do this?
Many thanks.
