Graham shows you a method to run you macro if you start word before 1100 a.m.

Here is a method to run your macro once per day. Regardless of the the time you start word. It uses the registry to store variables.

Code:

Option Explicit
Sub AutoExec()
  If GetSetting("DailyAutoRun", "Settings", "Date") = vbNullString Then SaveSetting "DailyAutoRun", "Settings", "Date", Format(Date, "MM/dd/yyyy")
  If CLng(CDate(GetSetting("DailyAutoRun", "Settings", "Date"))) <= CLng(Date) Then
    SaveSetting "DailyAutoRun", "Settings", "Date", Format(DateAdd("d", 1, Date), "MM/dd/yyyy")
    MyMacro
  End If
lbl_Exit:
  Exit Sub
End Sub
Sub MyMacro()
  MsgBox "Test"
lbl_Exit:
  Exit Sub
End Sub
