Default Macro to open the Insert>Cover Page window /dialog box

Hi, I'm trying to record a macro that will do the following:

1. Select the Insert Tab
2. Cover Page


3. Let the user select a cover page saved in building blocks.

I have tried using Commandbars, but have been unable to locate the Cover Page control.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

If it's a particular cover page you want to insert (i.e. the user doesn't need to choose from the list) you could use a macro like:
Code:
Sub Demo()
Application.Templates("C:\Users\" & Environ("UserName") & _
  "\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Document Building Blocks\1033\14\Built-In Building Blocks.dotx") _
  .BuildingBlockEntries("Alphabet").Insert Where:=Selection.Range, RichText:=True
End Sub
Simply change "Alphabet" to whichever one you want to use.

Thanks for your response Macropod. I have recorded this macro, but I need to allow for different cover pages ie. the user will have a number of cover pages to choose from.

Is it possible to call this dialog window using commandbars? I have tried, but I'm obviously failing

It may be, but I have no idea of the CommandBar ID for that - IIRC there's something in the order of 10,000 to choose from...
