I have to Exit Design Mode

[Marcel Saucier]

Hello,

I am using textboxes in a Word document. Everything is working fine except
that everytime I do open my document, I have to Exit Design Mode.

Is there a way to be automatically NOT into Design Mode when opening an
existing document ?

Thank you

Hi Marcel:

Let me repeat an answer given to another poster by MVP Steve Hudson:

Close design windows


Run this in every template you have.


Public Sub CloseDesignWindows()
Dim Index As Long
With ActiveDocument.VBProject
For Index = 1 To .VBComponents.Count
With .VBComponents(Index)
If .HasOpenDesigner Then .DesignerWindow.Close
End With
Next
End With
End Sub


As Steve says, run the macro in each template you have.

Hope it works for you, I have not tested this on a Mac. Cheers
