The reference is ordinarily added automatically - unless you've configured Word to start with a template other than 'Normal'. In any event, you shouldn't need to add such a reference unless you're trying to access something in Word's Normal template.



Did you try the code I posted in: https://www.msofficeforums.com/156912-post4.html ?

I did try it sorry I thought I sent a response and it didn't work I got an error.

But I modified it to this and it works but for some reason it doesn't work on my work laptop as noted since it doesn't have the 'Normal' reference. Any idea why it works on my desktop but not my work laptop. I'll attach the new code on a macro enabled doc.

It's really hard to address any problems (which I didn't encounter and couldn't address because you deleted the attachments), when you don't give any feedback, especially feedback that identifies where the problem lies.
