AutoOpen macro doesn't run

[Bob W]

this macro issupposed to automatically display the AutoText menu when a
document is created from a template:

Sub AutoOpen()
CommandBars("AutoText").Visible = True
End Sub

When I create a new document from the template, and tell Word to enable
macros, a new document opens but the autotext menu does not display. Why?

AutoOpen works when you *Open* a document or template. When creating
docments from templates, you need *AutoNew* (You cannot "open" somehting that
does not exists...).
