As part of a workflow in a PDM system, I have to convert a Word file to PDF. I've written a macro that will save the PDFs and close Word. I can't put that macro in every users Normal.dotm file so I need to be able to load it from a shell command. I saved my macro, SaveAsPDF, in a Custom.dotm and I can put that in a shared location (during testing it's on my c: drive)

When I execute the command
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office12\winword" /l"C:\Custom.dotm" /w %filename% /mSaveAsPDF


Word opens with the file and the macro is present but doesn't execute.

I've tried using /t instead of /l to load the macro containing template but it doesn't seem to work at all.
